[ubuntu-studio-devel] GIMP vs MyPaint - Dependency conflicts

[eylul]

As much as I would really like to see 2.10 on release, this is a good
point.

From a 18.10 point of view, the main issue with snap in combination with
graphics programs used to be that snap could have issues with
integration of proprietary graphic drivers (e.g. of nvidia). This
information is several months old through so it is possible that the
issue is fixed.
