How can I install Gimp 2.8 on Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1?
#7
From the above

How about installing via VirtualBox....
I thought about a VM as well, but it is a big overhead just for running an old version of Gimp.

I think CMYKstudent identified the indexed png file size issue. Using RGBA doubles the file size.

Some comparisons: RGBA v. Auto and I turn off every option except save-resolution.

EDIT: Just seen the comment about autoformat corrupting the image. Not happening here, wonder what is happening with your installation ?

With my settings Gimp 210 comes in slightly smaller than the original that was posted here.

...and for Gimp 2.10... this appimage that comes with python 2 for all those useful python plugins.

Tried with Mint 22.1 - works but I did need to install fuse-overlayfs
Code:
sudo apt install fuse-overlayfs
