Hi,

Thanks for making this project, i had the same problem coming from photoshop so this makes sense, also it's cool that you can do something like this.

One small thing tho, i can understand why you would want to bundle it with things like snap and flatpak but why not offer a portable version as well?

Some of us use a custom built linux and don't want all the fancy stuff...

After looking at the release files i could see that simply copying the ./config/gimp/VER folder to replace my own in my install would be enough, so this is what i did.

Could you add instructions or a release for a clean version one can just apply on their own distro?
