I cant find gimp 3 in nixpkgs, It’s still gimp 2.10.38. NixOS Search

Is there a way to get gimp 3?

It’s not packaged yet. The ongoing work is happening in this PR: gimp: 2.10.38 → 3.0.0 by jtojnar · Pull Request #67576 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub

In the meanwhile, you could try the Flatpak or Snap packages.

Is there a flake to try the testing out or does it all need to be hosted on a nix git?

Oof, this is what happens to your brain on flakes! :stuck_out_tongue:

You can test out any Nixpkgs PR with OG Nix commands if you know (A) who submitted it and (B) the last commit hash in the PR.

In this case:

$ nix-build -A gimp3 https://github.com/jtojnar/nixpkgs/archive/fa4992dd39f48279eb33db114c623abccae09384.tar.gz
