    Debian/Ubuntu/Mint packages are always older and only get updated once everything is stable.

    If you are looking for more up to date packages I would recommend using FlatPaks or AppImages since they are usually maintained by the devs and kept up to date.

      How about compiling from source? Or look into how Debian/Ubuntu/Mint build the gimp package, then change the version and run the build process on your local machine?
