Getting the latest GIMP

The GNU Image Manipulation Program may not quite be a PhotoShop killer, but for a lot of us it's close enough.

The latest version, v2.10.0 was release on 27 April 2018 and is a major improvement over previous versions.

Most Linux distributions still ship the previous version released in 2013, and as a result users who want to upgrade will have to find an alternative source.

The official package from the GIMP Project is in flatpak format.

That flatpak is hosted on Flathub.

To install the flatpak, first verify that the flatpak service is installed on your machine. Instructions for Ubuntu are here. Find options for other distros on the Setup page.

Once flatpak is up and running, run the following command to install GIMP:

flatpak install https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.gimp.GIMP.flatpakref
