ubuntu xenial and flatpak
#6
These aren't "soft" links but "hard" links, so harder to check:

(where "inode" is what holds the file data). When you add a hard link that new link is just a new path/name to the data, and has exactly the same status as the initial path/name. You cannot tell afterwards which came first, and if you rm the initial name the data will still be available using the other name.

Yes, also a way to extend the life of my 16.04. for me. Rolling releases are fine in some cases, but can also break critical applications. Same as Firefox that updates and invalidates a bunch of plug-ins you depend on. There are people that need stability and this is what the LTS releases are for. In this case I think the Gimp devs have been a bit brutal in their requirement, you can't expect everyone to be on the latest releases.
