Please forgive my ignorance on this subject

The correct link for the new beta version of Krita, can be found at

I downloaded the appimage a few minutes ago, and put it in a new directory called "AppImages."

In addition, there is a plug-in that you can also run, but that

is all above my paygrade. ( See G'Mic for Krita ).

In the link below, is a screenshot of krita 4.4. beta working nominally in Gnome

3.38 ( using my Rawhide install with custom wallpaper )

Disclaimer: I had no earthly idea what the "chmod" command did until about an hour ago.

I have been using Linux a little over three years for simple household task and my hobby-business.

I did try to run this from terminal and got wayland / gnome area messages and that a python file was

missing, but I did not get that when I double-clicked on it in in Gnome Files

At the present moment, I only have doodling experience with GIMP and Krita as shown in the screenshot.

But I once did a couple of real drawings back in 1993

( Microsoft had a drawing tool in Word 6.0 in 1993, if that rings a bell with anybody ),

and I was proficient with AutoCAD 12 back in the mid 1990's.

So here is my next question:

Do some appimages contain proprietary blobs. If so, that would ruffle some feathers, if Fedora

users recommended those appimages. Is that right ? Or does that sort of fall into the same category as

installing third-party repos ??
