From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How do I install inkstitch extension in inkscape-flatpak? (feddit.de)

I'm running Inkscape as flatpak on Kubuntu 24.04 and I wanted to install.the Ink/Stitch extension, but somehow this doesn't seem to work like it did on the apt/ppa version. I've tried the script install from inkstitch, and I've tried to manually copy the contents of the tar.xz to the extensions subfolder in home/.var/ and restarting inkscape, but no luck so far. I was hoping someone here could give me some helpful tips to try? thanks!

Go to Edit > Preferences > System and check where your User Extensions folder is, then extract the xz file to there

Maybe you can also change the extensions folder in this configuration

thanks I will check this out.

edit:just extracting the tar.xz to the extensions folder and restarting inkscape-flatpak didn´t work. It was the correct folder, I tested it by installing another extension via the inkscape extensions dialog, and that popped up right there. However using the installer script from within the flatpak-cmd worked. Thanks for your help though!
