• GIMP 0.54.1 in a Flatpak

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Tuesday, June 23, 2026 06:40:08

    The GIMP project reports that
    GNOME contributor "balooii" has worked to package GIMP
    0.54.1-released in 1996-as a Flatpak that will build and
    run on modern 64-bit Linux systems. This is a Motif-based
    version, and the same version that was used
    by Larry Ewing to create Tux.

    While not likely to be useful for serious graphics work today, it
    should be interesting for users who would like to see what a
    30-year-old version of GIMP was capable of.
