How To Test GIMP 3.0 Development Version Quickly on Ubuntu

Happy news to us that GNU Image Manipulation Program now almost reaches version 3.0. This long time favorite application of us, also known as GIMP, is in rapid development stages and the Release Candidate or RC versions are already available for us to download and test (and report bug if we found any issue). As a part of the happy news, now GIMP 3.0 is officially available also as AppImage! For that reason, we can try it out as quickly as downloading and double-clicking it without removing the existing version installed. While we're all waiting for GIMP 3.0 RC to finally reach 3.0 stable, now let's start trying it out!

Updated This Past Day

  1. 'Linux Hint' Inactive for Two Months Already
    We'll need to get creative to find more news, seeing that a lot of the fodder is just "AI" cruft or cruft about "AI"

    The interest rates on overdraft are insane
  6. More Linux SPAM (and Anti-Linux FUD) in LinuxSecurity.com (Guardian Digital, Inc.), Not Even Composed by an Actual Person

  8. [Meme] Windows/Client/Device Revenue Slump at Microsoft, GNU/Linux Up to 4.5% on Desktops/Laptops
    The media barely talks about this
  9. Microsoft Falls to Record Low in Norway (Windows on Around 50% of Desktops and Laptops, GNU/Linux Nearly 30%)
    people move to GNU/Linux in Norway
  10. Microsoft's Shares Fell 8%. And No Major News Sites Bothered to Mention Windows Revenue Collapsing, It's All About "AI" Vapourware.
    This is journalism?
  11. Over at Tux Machines...
    GNU/Linux news for the past day

    IRC logs for Tuesday, July 30, 2024
