Linux

Format	Get it	Notes
AppImage	SloomStudio-0.9.16-b-x86_64.AppImage	Needs libfuse2 (`sys-fs/fuse:0` on Gentoo, `libfuse2` on Debian and Ubuntu). Without it, run with `--appimage-extract-and-run`.
Debian / Ubuntu	SloomStudio-0.9.16-b-amd64.deb	`sudo apt install ./SloomStudio-0.9.16-b-amd64.deb`
Gentoo	Portage overlay in `packaging/gentoo/` (Manifests included)	`media-gfx/sloom-studio-bin` installs the prebuilt app to `/opt`; `kde-plasma/sloom-globalmenu` builds the Plasma applet from source; `kde-plasma/sloom-panelmenu` is the QML applet. Copy the overlay to `/var/db/repos/sloom`, add a `repos.conf` entry with `masters = gentoo`, keyword the three packages `~amd64`, then `emerge media-gfx/sloom-studio-bin kde-plasma/sloom-globalmenu`. Tested on Plasma 6.6.
Arch	Prebuilt packages: `sloom-studio-bin-0.9.16-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst`, `sloom-panelmenu-1.0.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst`; PKGBUILDs in `packaging/arch/`	`sudo pacman -U sloom-studio-bin-0.9.16-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst`. The Global Menu applet must be built against your Plasma: `makepkg -si` in `packaging/arch/sloom-globalmenu`. The prebuilt packages were assembled outside makepkg (no `makepkg` host yet); checksums are in the folder's `SHA256SUMS`. AUR submission is on the contributor list.
Tarball	sloom-studio-0.9.16-linux-x64.tar.zst	The unpacked `/opt` layout for any distribution. Run `sloom-studio` inside it.
Flatpak	not yet	A Flathub manifest is wanted.

KDE Plasma: menu bar in the panel, GPU intact

Electron apps on native Wayland cannot register a menu with KWin, and forcing XWayland costs hardware acceleration on many AMD and Intel machines. Sloom Studio ships a fork of KDE's Global Menu applet that adds one fallback: it reads Sloom Studio's menu over D-Bus. Install sloom-globalmenu, add the widget to a panel, and launch the app with SIGNAL_LOOM_ELECTRON_PANEL_MENU=1 (the packaged desktop entry sets it). Nothing else about the applet differs from stock.

Windows

SloomStudio-Setup-0.9.16-b.exe (NSIS installer, x64, also attached to the GitHub release). The installer is not code-signed; SmartScreen will ask once. Its checksum is in the same SHA256SUMS as the Linux files.

macOS

SloomStudio-0.9.16-b-arm64.dmg for Apple Silicon and SloomStudio-0.9.16-b-x64.dmg for Intel, also attached to the GitHub release. Not notarized: right-click, Open on first launch. Checksums are in the same SHA256SUMS.

Build from source

If you would rather build it yourself, the developer page has the six commands. It takes about ten minutes on a laptop.

Android. The Android build of Sloom Studio on Google Play predates the free-software release and is being brought in line. For painting on Android, use Hane, which is the project's paid companion app.
