Every wondered what famed FOSS image editor GIMP was like in 1996? Well, now you can find out. Developer balooii has packaged GIMP 0.54 into a Flatpak that runs on modern 64-bit Linux desktops with Wayland.

It’s also something of a work-in-progress – of an ancient work-in-progress – with the maintainer promising they’ll share more era-specific plugins and tutorials on using this ancient build in time.
