You may choose one to install or install all of them side by side (<i>will cause duplicated app icons<\/i>).<\/p>\n<h4>Option 1: Snap<\/h4>\n<p>The Pinta snap package is available to install from Ubuntu Software. And, if you already install the package before, it should now update to v2.0 automatically.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pinta2-snapstore.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pinta2-snapstore-600x345.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"345\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-36613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pinta2-snapstore-600x345.webp 600w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pinta2-snapstore-300x172.webp 300w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pinta2-snapstore-768x441.webp 768w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pinta2-snapstore.webp 970w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Option 2: Flatpak<\/h4>\n<p>Like Snap, Flatpak is another universal package format runs in sandbox.
