Has a long time Linux user and gimp user on practically every operating
system, Kenny is right this is an accessibility and a disability issue.
My recommendation is that you find a Linux user group in your town if there
is one and contact them, because this is a topic that would be ripe to be
addressed for a users group meeting or meet up. Do you know how people
who’ve never used it before attend the meetings and bring a box with them
and they install Linux on it for you well I’m sure an admin of Lenix can do
it for you in about 10 minutes and show you how to do it if you ever need
to if it’s possible for you.
That’s my two cents. I’m jealous you got To meet Steve Jobs. I actually had
a friend once who is an administrator and a programmer of the graphics
system I worked on at Bell Atlantic that became Verizon, and he was a
programmer in visual basic stuff like that, and then he went on to work at
next computing with Steve Jobs. Those are nice days in the 90s. Have a good
week stay safe.

2020-09-17 Thread Jehan Pagès via gimp-user-list 
Hello Kenny,

First of all, I am sorry to hear about your condition.

Unfortunately we don't store any compiled package for GIMP on Linux (unlike
Windows/macOS packages). Even our flatpak is quite new (since late GIMP 2.8
releases, if not mistaken). The Flathub repository actually stores an
history of former builds, so it is actually possible to install older
builds (this is quite a hidden feature of Flatpak, very useful for
debugging), but I just checked and the 2.8 builds are long gone because
Flathub only stores up to 25 builds (which makes me think that maybe we
should store standalone Flatpak builds on our download server, but someone
would have to do the work to automatize this as much as possible). So you
are out of luck here.

Maybe you should be able to get older .deb packages of Linux Mint. Normally
distributions also keep their older packages and there are also some
websites which keep archives of all packages made for various
distributions. So I'm sure GIMP 2.8.x packages for Mint can be found. And
if you are lucky, these older packages can still be installed manually and
work on a newer distribution. You should ask about this on Linux Mint
forums.

As for the remark of overlooking legacy, I believe GIMP to be quite good on
this actually. We take a lot of care to not break too much older usage, and
rarely remove a feature without implementing first a better alternative,
nor do we change things on a whim without thinking hard about it. Now we
still have to evolve. Caring about compatibility is important, but it
should not mean being stuck in the past. Still I am sorry to read about
such a neurological disorder and I do wish you all the best. If finding an
older GIMP is the best for you, I hope you'll find an older version and
continue doing more of the nice photography artworks you linked earlier. 🙂
Regards,

Jehan

I just discovered that tools can be ungrouped in GIMP 2.10
(Sure, I can hold onto the concept that a tool is made visible by looking
inside the group of related tools, but with my particular cognitive
disorder, things that aren't visible tend to not exist in any functional
sense. Imagine if the location of absolutely everything in the world were
like the last time you lost your keys -- everything, all day, every day,
your whole life.)

Ungrouping the tools I use regularly makes it possible to have the toolbox
in 2.10 appear as it always has in GIMP 2 -- a major cognitive help.

Oh And: Now I see that the layers tab can be dragged to the set at the top
of the column and the brushes can be dragged to the set at the bottom. It's
nice not having the layers panel disappear until I look where the brushes
always were and then keep finding the brushes have disappeared until I
glance upward.

Yes, having things only truly functionally exist when they're in view is
weird. Be very glad you can take it for granted that things exist in
locations on routes that you can keep track of without applying total
conscious effort every single time.

Picture GIMP in your mind's eye. I can't. If you were to ask me where
things are in GIMP when I don't have the app open, I couldn't tell you,
even if you offered me an all-expenses-paid trip to Mars.

I don't have the skills to compile GIMP from <
https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gimp/v2.8/gimp-2.8.22.tar.bz2>

The new interface in GIMP 2.10 is a problem somewhat unique to me. I have a
neurological disorder. Navigating anything -- walking to the grocery store
and back, traveling by trains, buses, airplanes, sometimes even finding the
kitchen in my house -- is dependent on life-long-learned tricks that are
based in objective visible familiarity. This neural disorder is worsening.

After using Photoshop since v. 2.2, I've been using GIMP 2.8 in Linux Mint
17 and 18 for years. I work in GIMP 2.8 for hours every day. Samples: <
https://nowvthen.tumblr.com/archive> No prob.

The threshold for gaining use of GIMP 2.10 would take unknown weeks of
mostly failure, due to the lack of neural mapping I have for the interface.
Read: It looks only similar to anyplace I've ever been and it's a place I
have no readable map for. To me, the (neural) map has blots that most
people will easily read in the GIMP 2.10 interface as easily recognizable
information.

The app manager in Mint 20 will only install GIMP 2.10 -- and <
https://www.gimp.org/downloads/> has only a button for a flatpack of GIMP
2.10

GIMP 2.8 is available to install from the app manager in Mint 18.

For now, I can boot a drive that's fully set up in Mint 18 with GIMP 2.8. I
can use that for as long as it hasn't gotten corrupted on my computer. I
can do a fresh install of Mint 18 for as long as that version is supported.
I'd like to get ahead on having a fresh OS install. Becoming cognizant of
GIMP 2.10 would be a big delay. At my age, that's real iffy.

I've been doing okay with Mint 20 -- having spent weeks making the Cinnamon
version appear as much like Mint 18 Cinnamon as possible.

Which will hold on longer -- Mint 18/GIMP 2.8 or me? Should I spend that
time mapping-out a new territory or do I get to keep working along the road
that has what I need to recognize where I am?

Legacy is something that app developers have a long harsh history of
overlooking. (Among others, I once worked closely with Apple Newton
developers, for instance.  May Steve rest in peace.) Viable available
legacy is important. We're all legacy, sooner or later.

Hi Kenny,

In case Alex's suggestion to activate the legacy theme doesn't actually 
fix enough of the differences between "new gimp" and "old gimp", another 
possibility might be to install VirtualBox in your newest version of 
Mint, and then install in a virtual machine the last version of Mint 
that will install and run GIMP 2.8.


Two more possibilities for getting an older version of GIMP to run on 
current Mint:


* Try an appimage for GIMP-2.9 - the older the appimage, the closer it 
is to being more like GIMP-2.8. I used GIMP 2.9 since just about the 
beginning of its existence and it always ran just fine, very stable. 
Here's a link - scroll down to the files with "2.99" in the file name:

https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/tag/continuous

Here's a link for asking about possibly older versions of GIMP-2.9 
appimage: 
https://discuss.pixls.us/t/gimp-appimage-continuous-integration/1959



* If GIMP for Windows runs on WINE (anyone know?), then try installing 
WINE and download an older precompiled version of GIMP for Windows. Just 
make sure the download site is reliable as many distributors of GIMP for 
Windows just want to distribute malware. "Partha's Place" is good place 
to download Windows versions of GIMP - scroll down on the right side, 
two versions of 2.8 are available:

https://www.partha.com/




Maybe you've already considered using a virtual machine, but if not, 
VirtualBox does allow to open/export/save files back and forth between 
the virtual machine's and real machine's hard drives. Once everything is 
running properly, make a backup copy of the virtual machine 
configuration files and especially the VDI (virtual disk image) in case 
the one you use every day somehow gets corrupted.


VirtualBox can be set up to run seamlessly inside the host Linux 
installation. I haven't used VirtualBox in several years, but back when 
I did use it regularly, it worked flawlessly to allow running an old 
operating system and software. I transferred that virtual machine 
through quite a few hardware and operating system changes, and it always 
worked like a charm.


I did find a pre-made, downloadable virtual machine for Mint 19:
https://www.linuxvmimages.com/images/virtualbox/
https://www.linuxvmimages.com/images/linuxmint-19/

Maybe somewhere there is a pre-made image for Mint 18 if Mint 19 won't 
work. But if you can install an operating system on bare metal, 
installing the same operating system in a virtual machine involves just 
about the exact same procedure - the difficult part is setting 
everything up to get to the point of actually being able to start 
installing the selected operating system.


Fortunately the VirtualBox forums are pretty good, or at least they used 
to be. Also there used to be (and probably still are) a lot of "how 
to's" on the internet, but at least in the past the "how to's"  were 
outdated almost as soon as they were written as VirtualBox itself was 
changing rapidly. So it's necessary to make sure the "how to" applies to 
the more recent versions of VirtualBox.


Probably the Mint forums could help, and the Arch Linux documentation 
always seem to have good, up-to-date "how tos" that often apply to other 
versions of Linux.


Best regards,
Elle

It is available - see https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gimp/v2.8/

Maybe you should provide a bit more context about why you need it and
what "not available" means in this context.
