Krita related / appimage related

[David]

I have never ever used an appimage before until just now.

Earlier today, I saw on Phoronix that Krita had a new beta version.

So I went to their website, clicked on nightly build and could not find a
beta,
but did find an alpha.    I downloaded
the Linux version which was an appimage.

I went to the Fedora Wiki about appimages and followed the 3 step guide to
using appimages
and was surprised how simple it was.

Krita 4.4 alpha works nominally on Fedora.    so if there is a beta
somewhere, then I guess
it would too.

In order to try this new version of Krita,

one must understand the basic file system layout in Fedora which in my case
is:     /david/Downloads/krita4.4.appimage

     use cd command in terminal to change to Downloads

In my case, that was as simple as:    $ cd Downloads

next easy step ( after the $ in terminal )
     type     chmod +x krita-4.4.0-alpha-x86_64.appimage

     ( you can cut and paste the file name to simplify that, as it has some
extra stuff in it )

Exit terminal, and go back to Files

     Just double-click on the Krita appimage file in Files afterwards.

Please let me know if there is a simpler way.     I imagine you might want
to move
it from Downloads directory to a temporary directory or an custom directory
that you
created for appimages ??
