      I don't use mint so this might be blatantly incorrect but after a bit of searching on mint's release schedule I would assume gimp 3.0 will arrive with the 22.2 or 22.3 version. With 22.2 expected at middle 2025 and 22.3 at end 2025.

        I also don't use Mint personally, but based on their releases page, it looks like they follow the Ubuntu LTS releases. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is already being used for Mint 22.1, so I wouldn't expect to see Gimp 3 until the next LTS release in April of 2026.

        Debian based distros are notorious for using old, but known stable packages. That's kind of their whole thing. If you want the latest and greatest, look for a rolling release based distro.

            oh it makes sense, i suppose they do that also because they want the software to be fixed in case there any bugs and therefore it becomes much more stable. thank you!!

              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.AppImage and then open the file to open gimp.

                There's also a PPA if you don't want to use a flatpak. Just be sure to uninstall it before upgrading to Mint 23 to avoid any issues.

                      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.

                            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?

                              It doesn't "come to the package manager". Your package manager retrieves it from the repository. So the question is: What repositories do you have enabled?

                                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.

                                  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.

                                    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

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