The Flatpak is already packaged and works well. It just needs to be maintained from a person that joins the Inkscape community.
This would allow further improvements like Portal support and making the app official on Flathub.

I tried to like elementary and used for it for months awhile ago. But it was missing so many basic features for an OS. Eg, they only just added bulk rename to the file manager.
Interesting. Can you explain how it works, please?
I tend to agree with the judge's assessment. He must make a decision based on existing law and the plaintiff's claim/argument. You're right existing law doesn't cover this aspect of technology which is why there needs to be new laws enacted by Congress. And the courts are put in a no win situation here because we've failed to establish new rules and regulations for this new technology.
The plaintiff's claim of derivative work doesn't fit here because of what has already been long established what a derivative work looks like. AI generated images aren't really derivative works.
I think rightfully, the court has told them to try again, which is ok.
It's never good when a government punishes anyone who criticizes it.
It shouldn't matter.
It sucks, but this sub now may have to consider changing it's name to workreform because of this. Plus workreform is a much better description of the movement.
