Anyway, gimp-2.10 isn't worth install. It is /extremely/ slow, in fact not usable.
It has some new features that I'd love to have, but is so slow that I had to deinstall it and reinstall gimp-2.8. A simple adjust of a curve, for example, takes like a minute, you can see how it generates the effect line by line.
You can search for "gimp 2.10 slow" and find countless reports.
This is fixable -- somehow Arch has it running on par with 2.8, but... there is another huge pain in the ass that some kid with his box of crayons couldn't leave alone.... The Layers/Gradients dialog on the right is completely flipped upside down. For a decade+ plus it was layers, masks, etc.. up top and brushes, gradients on the bottom. I filed a bug against this when 2.10 came out: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/3411 Despite being very surprised that the change had even happened and the lead expressing there had better be a darn good reason for the change -- no reason was forthcoming and nothing was fixed. If you have used gimp before you will notice the change immediately. You can spend a few minutes and move the "features" from the bottom back to the top and vice-versa -- but there is no other easy way to fix it.... -- David C.
