#### High-end image creation and manipulation

GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is
Community-driven Free Software for high-end image creation and manipulation.

It has many capabilities. It can be used as a paint program,
an expert quality photo retouching program, image composition,
an online batch processing system, a mass production image
renderer, an image format converter, etc.

GIMP is expandable and extensible. It is designed to be
augmented with plug-ins and extensions to do just about
anything. The advanced scripting interface allows everything
from the simplest task to the most complex image manipulation
procedures to be easily scripted. GIMP is available for Linux,
Microsoft Windows and macOS.

## Enable snaps on Manjaro Linux and install GNU Image Manipulation Program

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for *snapd*, select the result, and click Apply.

Alternatively, *snapd* can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo pacman -S snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
