Is there a way I can download Gimp 2.8 on Linux Mint? I didn't see it in the Software Manager there was only 2.10 and I assume an even newer version..
I do have the installer for Gimp 2.8 I used on Windows 7 which probably can be run with Wine, but I would prefer not to do that because from my experience it seems everything that's run with Wine on Linux seems a lot laggier and choppier than it was on Windows 7 which is not good for when I want to draw...
If there's an AppImage of Gimp 2.8 I would prefer that because those are convenient and have everything they need to run, I looked on the official Gimp site and it said it had a download for 2.8, but it would always redirect me to Gimp 2.10 on the Software Manager so I assume it's not on the official site.

A bit reluctant to give this. It is an appimage project that did not quite work
I use it with kubuntu 22.04 It just about works (mostly) with Mint 22.1 https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=...0xy7JSsx1y 2822.zip size 32 MB Needs a bit of user input. How you might do it. https://filedn.com/lkb9dw6mEfXSsOu9uKLaM14/gimp28.mp4 about 3 minutes
Not a 100% . Python not possible now, tiff-load / tiff-save needs an old libtiff package so I have taken those out.
If you want to give it a try, up to you. The usual guarantee - there is none.
