What I'ld like to know: can you keep your old GIMP Version alongside the flatpak? Or is it deleted?
You do keep everything in your linux installation that you already have.
The flatpak is essentially 'sandboxed' runs completely in its own space. Which can be a good thing or can be a disadvantage.
You can see from the previous post that while most third-party scripts and plugins will work there are some with missing dependencies.
Example: I can use my wireless printer to print. The xsane plugin does not work, so I can not scan.
If you want to use Gimp 2.10 and keep your Gimp 2.8 it is worth a try.
