### How to Install GIMP 3.0 Via PPA
The long awaited release of GIMP 3.0 is finally here!
This release fixes bugs that could not be fixed in pre-release 2.99 because of GTK2's incompatibility with the newer GTK3 that GIMP 3.0 is built on.
Follow the steps below to install the latest just released GIMP 3.0 version via PPA in Mint and other Ubutu based distros.
## TO INSTALL GIMP
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mati75/gimp30
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gimp gegl mypaint-brushes
## TO SWITCH BETWEEN OLDER AND NEWER VERSIONS w/OUT REMOVING 2.99 REPO:
1. Get list of available gimp & gimp-data packages
sudo apt policy gimp gimp-data
2. Install matching version numbers at same time by using = sign & desired version after package name
For example:
sudo apt install gimp=2.10.30-1build1 gimp-data=2.10.30-1build1
