You can have both 2.10 and 3.x installed in ubuntu 24.04 Apart from flatpaks which I consider a PITA there are regular installations from 'buntu PPA's
either
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+...ntu/gimp-3
or,
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+...buntu/gimp
and to go with that, appimages from here:
https://github.com/ivan-hc/GIMP-appimage/ There are links to the latest Gimp 3 also a "hybrid" Gimp 2.10.38 appimage that comes with python 2
Also a great 2.10 with python from Tasmania https://github.com/TasMania17/Gimp-Appim...p-v2.10.38 also with python 2 for all those old useful scripts and plugins that no longer work with Gimp 3
...and that basically is what I use, a PPA Gimp 2.10 for scanning and printing and a Gimp 3 appimage to try and keep up with latest developments.
