My M1 Air came in ahead of the M1 Mini for some reason, and I loaded GIMP (latest version from website) and it works about the same as on Mojave on my 2017 iMac 27'. Responsive, no drag, no delays. Don't know if it is the speed of the M1 or just the way the emulation works, but it is definitely usable. Lightroom and Photoshop run natively on Apple M1 computers. We are working to ensure that our other apps run natively on these computers, but don't have release dates for all our apps yet. We will update this document when more details are available. The complete guide for MacOS Apps Optimized for M1 Apple Silicon Macs. Is GIMP Apple silicon ready? ⚠️ Yes, Rosetta 2 only GIMP. Powerful, free image editing application; now a native Mac app. The app works with Rosetta 2. Additional info: It is not all well on the platform yet, though - with users upgrading to the latest macOS release. The M1 chip is Apple's first computer chip and three Macs are now equipped with it. These Macs include the popular MacBook Air, the MacBook Pro (which apparently accounted for the majority of Mac.
On this episode of This Week in Linux, we’ve got a lot of Audio related news this week. We’ve got a new release from the Digital Audio Workstation, Ardour. A new release of PulseAudio, AV Linux, and we’ve got some interesting news from Fedora about potentially switching to PipeWire. In App News this week, we’ll check out the latest release of Blender and celebrate 25 Years of GIMP. Linus Torvalds commented on using Linux on Apple’s new M1 Mac and we’ll round the show out with a new product from Pine64, a soldering iron, and there has been a distro merge between Sabayon and Funtoo.

Many thanks to Des McGuinness, who updated the build enviroment created byAlex Samorukov and succeeded in getting the current stable code built and notarized!
Gimp Apple M1
This brings all the changes and fixes since GIMP 2.10.14 to macOS users, whohad been limited to this increasingly outdated version for far too long. Severalof the changes are quite visible and noticable to users, so it is a good ideato check the release notes for GIMP2.10.18,2.10.20 and2.10.22 to get upto date with the current versions.
It is not all well on the platform yet, though - with users upgrading to the latest macOS release, Big Sur, we started getting reports about performance and user interface issues.
GIMP being very slow and invisible selection outlines are reported most frequently. It is likely both are symptoms of the same underlying technical issue, that being the image window content being updated completely and far too frequently than necessary.
It feels really good to have active contributors to the macOS platform again, this gives us confidence that the issues can be investigated properly and, hopefully, mitigated or completely solved.
If you encounter any issue in addition to the two linked above, please let us know; the bugs page explains how to do this. If you are unsure whether a bug is already known, you can search for them there, or have a look at all the issues reported for the macOS platform.When in doubt, report it anyway, we will figure out duplicates and mark them accordingly.
Finally, please don’t forget you can donate to the project and personally fund several GIMP developers, as a way to give back and accelerate the development of GIMP.
