Ill have to take a look as Im going to install this version for my wife to test out.

It installed yesterday on my Windows desktop, just so happened to run my Ninite and it updated that. Haven't actually launched it to look at it.

Ive been playing with Bodhi 5.0 so Ill be installing Gimp today.

Installed it and frankly didnt see much difference overall, but worked fine.

I'm testing out the flatpak version of this on Debian. Surprisingly easy to install and runs pretty darn good. Completely seamless integration with the resk of the desktop. Theme works exactly as it should.

Havent tried the flatpak version but my wife is very satisfied with it so far.

I had originally intended to backport it from Buster to Stretch, but decided I didn't feel like going through all the work (have to backport AT LEAST 4 packages, possible more) and decided to see how well flatpak worked. Mostly painless, although I can't get the flatpak program to register to be able to install from a click in a browser, I keep having to install from cli.

We've only tried it on Windows so far so cant comment beyond that but Ive got it installed on Zorin 12.4 so will take a look at it myself.
