GIMP 2.9 may fail to start due to some MyPaint brushes failing to "deserialize", whatever that means.

In order to "solve" that you don't need to get rid permanently of such brushes, which may still work fine on MyPaint itself.

Instead, move/rename the .mypaint user folder (perhaps ~/.config/mypaint to some?) to mypaint-temp or whatever, run gimp 2.9, it will start. Then go to preferences, folders, and change the mypaint-brushes folder settings, but...

The distribution of my very first screen cast in a local distribution network for locally produced, biological foodstuffs is the real cause for the publication of this entry.

I have no use for sound in my screen cast and when I played around with “recordMyDesktop” thought about how I should be able to type instructions in a terminal or text-editor, show manipulations in software and switch between the two, without getting lost, forgetting details or making dumb typos all the time....
