Hi Patrice,
I have been using the new LTS Ubuntu 22.04 for a few weeks and it's getting close to release. I've noticed some changes. Firefox is now only installed as a snap (which has its own root folder.)
What??? Ohh gosh Noooo! It's time for me to switch distro as I just HATE snaps, they made me very snappy.
It's 2 years that my kids are on MX Linux (they are my distros test
), it's a pure joy.
(although Ubuntu-MATE is rock solid, 6 years in a row without any problem and as fast as the first day, but forcing me snaps... No)

I think G'MIC is now installed with Gimp. That's a good move. It's there and I didn't install it.
I like playing with appimages now that I can make them from debs. Ubuntu DVD installers use squashfs so I can't see them dropping appimage support. It is a security risk but so is dropping coffee in your machine
Squashfs lets you move symlinks to other computers which normal file systems can't do.
I got the old MathMap plugin for Gimp working in a Gimp 2.10.30 appimage. I notice it's animated sphere filter has x,y and z axis which makes it a 3d app. Maybe G'MIC has some 3d filters. David is a smart guy.

GIMP installed with G'MIC, good, but I'm sure it's a snap
That's cool that mathmap works with your appimage, I'll give a try to your appimage (is it with mathmap inside?)
Indeed G'MIC has 3D filters/things like 3D animations, mostly in "Rendering" and "Sequences", and even 3D effect/maps in "Stereoscopic 3D")
