How can we install GIMP 2.10 with flatpak? (after ver. 3.0 release)

Hi!
GIMP 3.0 has been released, but I need to continue using GIMP 2.10. How can we install GIMP 2.10 with flatpak, now? If we use the commands we have used up until now, version 3.0 will probably be installed.

Use the flatpak mask command: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/flatpak-mask.1.html

Like flatpak mask org.Gimp.gimp

Thank you. But it seems that it is the command to prevent auto-update, not to install older version.

I found the solution. First, with “flatpak install org.gimp.GIMP” install GIMP latest version, and next, downgrade GIMP to ver. 2.10.38 with the command below.

sudo flatpak update --commit=dc9f60dce7f8ee883fc6a771fb4eb4678b732b1c6d9f0559998a226b114ad4f4 org.gimp.GIMP

Oh, sorry. You said

Which I took to mean you already had 2.10 and wanted to keep that version and not upgrade.

Yes, I already have 2.10 on Windows 10 PC with 6th gen. Intel CPU. However Microsoft does not allow upgrade it to Win11, so I plan to change its os to Linux and keep using 2.10.

I plan to use 3.0 AppImage version and 2.10 flatpak version as I need to use python-fu and Python 2.7 on 2.10.
