Flatpak (Linux)
In order to install the newest version of PhotoGIMP on your Linux operating system using Flatpak, just follow this simple steps:
-
Make sure you already have GIMP installed from Flathub; (for Ubuntu/Mint user just select Flatpak below the install button in the manager)
-
Start and quit GIMP after you installed before you continue!
-
Download the files from this repository or just click here - > https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP/releases/download/3.0/PhotoGIMP-linux.zip
-
Extract the content of the zip file on your home folder (.config and .local - they are the important ones) and overwrite the files if needed; (if you can't see the file click Ctrl+H to see hidden files)
-You're done, enjoy it! 😄
Flatpak? Yikes.
I see we have Canonical employees among us.
Wut. No.
I think you're confusing flatpaks with snaps
Nope. Both lack secure downloads.
In which ways is flatpak insecure? Genuinely asking
It doesn't verify the authenticity of all the software that it downloads with cryptography.
Compared to something like apt, which will refuse to install something if it was maliciously altered, verified with pgp signatures.
It's pretty pathetic, but most of these new package managers are a security nightmare
This is not true. Flatpaks from flathub are signed with a gpg key.
Now admittedly, they use a single release key for all their signing, which is much weaker than the traditional distro's model of having multiple package maintainers sign off on a release.
But the packages are signed.
Edit: snaps are signed in a similar way.
i mean...
Fortunately there are secure ways to install gimp
