His AppImage has no python or 'send to email'

It looks like different user experiences.

I like appimages, keeps stuff, (LO , scribus, firefox, krita...) that I do not use much of these days out of the OS, (makes for smaller / faster OS backups).

My no.2 laptop runs kubuntu 22.04 and the gnome.org Gimp 3.0 RC1 fails   /tmp/.mount_GIMP-3ZMuv7i/usr/bin/gimp-3.0: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR' not found That sort of error not unknown when compiled on newer systems.

However the ivan-hc Gimp 3 RC1 does work with kubuntu 22.04, but out of the box no python. Python support vanished from the Gimp 2.99 build some time ago, but it is possible to side-load into the unpacked appimage. I could re-pack but not bothered. Just had another look at a ivan-hc Gimp 3.0 RC1 and python is working there out-of-the-box (at least it is here)

   

Together with one of the ART themes and I think that is quite a nice version.

   

Plenty working script-fu in all the versions, Difference clouds for example is script-fu. It might be possible to get some simpler scripts working. The one shown is guides-grid. 

There is a mention on el-reg https://www.theregister.com/2024/11/15/gimp_30_release/  Very obvious that the journalists there do not do much graphics editing
