Dear all, AppImage packages for the 2.10.12 are also available from here: https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/tag/continuous <https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/tag/continuous> They should work on most of the common Linux distributions. Two versions of the AppImage are provided, one with only the GIMP application , and a second one also including various popular plug-ins.
