--- Comment #4 from Stin <jcartner-yo...@sandalcomputers.co.uk> ---
"Mint nowadays don't distinguish (in the Applications Manager) between flatpak
versions and regular repository versions."

Yes, I find that quite frustrating.

"Flatpak is a new form of getting programs to your Linux. I will need to ask
someone more knowledgable, but I believe it is possible that your issue comes
from how flatpaks are designed and it cannot be worked around unless you will
use a different method."

I will get rid of this flatpack version, then. Thank you for the heads-up.  I
now know to stay away from Flatpacks :)

"Appimage is another way of getting program to your Linux. This is one single
file, just like .exe on Windows."

Ah, i think I do remember downloading a .AppImage file for something else. I
thought you meant a program called 'AppImage' lol derp me

"Allow executing this file as a program" (or something like that, my Mint is in
Polish so I don't know the English phrase).

Your English is quite perfect :)

"Every time there is an issue like that we tell users to check the appimage
because the appimage is the only form that gets all libraries in the exact same
version that Krita uses on Windows and Macs and what is considered "official".
For example on Linux it contains some patches for tablets and other things that
were written by Dmitry and that are not yet built into the system Qt."

You are most knowledgable - I will give the .AppImage package a go, right now.

Thank you so much for the information.  It usually takes a lot of trial and
error or investigation for me to find these things out.

I will let you know how it goes :)  Then, most likely close this report down.
