When I do:
flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP
Gimp 2.8 starts.
So I looked up the help, and I did:
flatpak uninstall org.gimp.GIMP
It uninstalled 2.8! Excellent! Now I need to make sure I do the correct flatpak install of Gimp 2.10
I'll try again from Gimp.org site's instructions.
@Ofnuts I start 2.10 with an appimage. I believed that I had Flatpak and 2.10 in some flatpak on my machine, but I guess I did not.
Now when I try to install the Gimp 2.10 flatpak there is a massive download of flatpak and Nvidia stuff, as well as ffmpeg, which I thought I had the current version.
Right now the terminal is saying it is installing Gimp, from flathub, but I can only hope it is 2.10.
As usual, this is a painful process, as are most program installations on a Linux-based system. The absolute best I've seen so far is appimage, but someone must make it first. There is how many things like this? The synaptic installer thing, deb packages, appimages, and now this flatpak is supposed to be better? I don't see how, and I imagine soon there will be something new and confusing.
It seemed to work this time! YES! Okay, what happens when 2.10.7 comes out? Does the flatpak automatically update?
