This is a sadly growing practice. Sunday, seeking to get access to the
G'MIC filters in the GIMP I discovered that there are no plugins available
yet for the GIMP 3.0-rc3. So I was limited (though it's not a real
limitation, because Krita is very good) to Krita, which now has G'MIC
built in. But going to the Krita site I found that the only compiled
version for Linux is an appimage. At least it was that and not some Ubuntu
scam. Sorry that this isn't true of Skype, but Skype has always been a
little hinky.
