Sorry this time I forgot to add that I'd like to use a version of gimp that features more than 8 bits/color, hence my questions about PPA or compiling.

And forgot to say that I'm using ubuntu studio 16.04 64 bit.

Thanks again, and for the wonderful gimp.

This is the page and details of the packages. https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasch/+archive/ubuntu/gimp-edge

Instructions are on the page but I advise uninstalling your existing Gimp 2.8 packages first.

then

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp-edge sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimp

Note: Unlike Gimp 2.8 the Gimp profile is ~/.config/GIMP/2.9

I run this in a kubuntu 16.04 64 bit - no real problems

Lao-Tse sagt: Nichtstun ist besser, als mit viel Mhe nichts zu schaffen.
Und er sagt auch: Ich habe drei Schtze, die ich hte und hege.
Der eine ist die Liebe, der zweite ist die Gengsamkeit, der dritte ist die Demut.
Nur der Liebende ist mutig, nur der Gengsame ist grozgig, nur der Demtige ist fhig zu herrschen.

Can I ask if you notice any appreciable diff with subunit and the plasma vs ubuntu,?
Thanks

subunit? sorry I do not harvest test results.

All I can say is it (generally) works.

However, not all scripts and plugins work. Currently struggling with Separate+

What does work is sufficient for my use.

Compat mode is off so often a script generates lots of error messages but gets there.

Easy enough to try out and revert to Gimp 2.8.x if not happy.
