This has been a long time coming, as GIMP 2 was released in 2004. The new version of GIMP looks really good. Here is a screen shot of it installed on my Linux Mint PC:
This webpage covers all the new updates. They seem have stayed fully focused on improving the features, and unlike Firefox or Jaguar they have not fallen into the fashionable cesspit of trying to go woke or reinvent themselves. Which is great to see. https://www.gimp.org/news/2024/11/06/gimp-3-0-RC1-released/
GIMP is not only for Linux, there are Windows and Mac versions as well. So you don't have to pay Adobe a huge monthly fee and let them steal your images. You can use GIMP for free, instead of paying for Photoshop. The initial release of GIMP 3 is available for download here: https://www.gimp.org/downloads/devel/
