If you mean applying NDE filters to layer masks, unfortunately not yet. It’s actually easy to enable - current we have a restriction on NDE filters for layers and layer groups only, and we could easily add layer masks to the list. UI/UX is the problem; basically, how to make it apparent that the filters you’re looking at are for the layer mask and not the layer. It’s a work in progress, but hopefully we can implement that soon-ish.

The implementation of the effect layer is very nice

Testing feels fluid and good so far. Great stuff
That’s the feature I’m missing right now. It’s not necessarity masking per se for me but a way of changing the area affected after the fact.
Say you’ve blurred a part of an image and want to exclude or include additional parts. Both the settings and the area affected are kind of locked in and can only be turned on and off as far as my limited testing suggests. This means the work you’ve put into tuning settings or selecting areas are lost when you decide to alter any of those things.
You can often edit the filter and save a preset before deleting / hiding the filter and applying in to a new area. But this is the same workflow as before.

Yes, also on our TODO list - there are a number of UI improvements we want to make, but step one was getting the basic implementation in place. We’ll continue improving NDE filters in subsequent 3.0 releases.

Yes, finally! 
Would the GIMP development flatpak (unstable) be a good way to keep up with the RCs?
I notice that fedora 41 comes with Gimp 2.99.19
Gimp Gitlab is down.
GNOME is migrating its various web infrastructures, and GitLab is being affected. It’ll likely be down intermittently until the full migration is complete. It’s quite annoying for us as well, since we’re trying to finish things for the RC2 release - but it’ll get done when it gets done.
RC2 is released.
If someone is able to test the gmic plug-in on this rc2 I’m interested.
It works! Thanks!

Any idea as to when the Linux version might be out? Cheers.

Before releasing the binaries from the G’MIC webpage, I’ll wait Debian / Ubuntu to set 3.0 as the defaut version of GIMP in their package repositories (which will take time, so probably not before next version of Debian / Ubuntu). I don’t propose support for other Linux distros right now.
But of course, as always with Linux, you can try compile the plug-in by yourself for the distro you use. Instructions are here: G'MIC - GREYC's Magic for Image Computing: A Full-Featured Open-Source Framework for Image Processing - Download
(just use the .tar.gz source file from 3.5.0_pre instead of 3.4.3).
There are too many flavors of Linux distros, so for most, I have to wait the packagers decide to upgrade to newest versions of G’MIC.
