Thanks. I love this look. I would like to test it.
Alas "only" for the development branch... and download is unfortunately no longer possible for the moment.
How many year(s) for hoping download it from stable branch ?

What OS are you running?

I have a computer under MX-Linux (debian based)

I have another under Windows10. This machine cannot migrate to Windows 11 (too old) so, i probably go to replace Windows 10 (when update ending) by Debian or SpiralLinux (easiest debian based) or by Manjaro, or by Opensuse Slowroll, or by Fedora (design suite)... I don't know exactly.

It indicates here (https://www.scribus.net/downloads/) that an appimage might be available, but I'm not seeing it. You could always try installing from the AUR on Manjaro, or alternatively, use distrobox with an Arch container to install from the AUR.

Is there any screen shots of the new interface that we can see a "sneak peek"?

Sorry, I had added a screenshot, but the software I used to host it had some issues that I couldn't fix. You can see a screenshot on this blog post I wrote (https://nathanupchurch.com/blog/switching-to-gnu-linux-mentally/); it's just over halfway down.

How did you manage to Install 1.7 on Linux? I tried to build from SVN source but failed becouse of missing packages I think. Maybe that could be something for you blog?

I'm running Arch (EndeavourOS) so I just installed it from the AUR:
