when will gimp 3.0 get updated on the linux mint (or ubuntu!! or whatever linux mint uses) package manager??

On an unrelated note:
Why do you have Teddy Ruxpin as your desktop background, and more importantly, why do I feel such reverence for it as a very non-stereotypical background for a Linux user?
Maybe its a shared device that kids also use? We have a laptop that's shared amongst everyone and I constantly come back to finding random desktop wallpapers from Minecraft to Undertale to Pokemon and I think the latest is Transformers related lol.

If your anything like me you'll forget things like what PPAs you've added in a few months. Or rather, forget that you've even added things like PPAs. That's why I stick to flatpak if its not in my distro's repos.
Not sure if I misremember but I think the Mint software manager has a menu option somewhere that shows you a list of PPAs you've added

The way i see it, the fact that we all are on open-source reddit alternatives means that we are all unique in our own ways.
Reddit was already a nieche social media platform. Then lemmy is the nieche of a nieche. So yes, we all have unique likes and hobbies.

i know i can use the flatpak version and i did try that one out on my other laptop but, i think it will come to the package manager when some stuff is fixed??? thank you
Tell us you don’t know what a flatpak is without telling us you don’t know what a flatpak is.

Would 2010s kids know what Teddy Ruxpin is? My partner was born ‘91 and she didn’t even know what it was.

I was born in 1990, and I had a tlReddy Ruxbin bear.

Already here on flatpak
And for someone not knowing what that is, it's a way to install and update stuff no matter what the distro, without messing with distro repo or otherwise messing stuff up.

Not using different user accounts, that's a paddling

i know what a flatpak is, a third party app provider for gnu/linux that works in any distro!!

You can also get the appimage on https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
After downloading, set the execute bit:
chmod +x ./GIMP-3.0.0-x86_64.AppImageand then open the file to open gimp.To make it executable you can just right click -> properties -> make executable.
No need to use the terminal

that is, if you remember to check it

Debian/Ubuntu/Mint packages are always older and only get updated once everything is stable.
If you are looking for more up to date packages I would recommend using FlatPaks or AppImages since they are usually maintained by the devs and kept up to date.

Tell us you don’t know what a flatpak is without telling us you don’t know what a flatpak is.
Tell us you know nothing about running Linux and rely on app stores for your software.

How about compiling from source? Or look into how Debian/Ubuntu/Mint build the
gimppackage, then change the version and run the build process on your local machine? -

It’s a skill which not many have.

I know, i use it all the time, i just think it's silly to recommend the terminal to beginners when theres a gui way that's easier.
