Latest reviews
As of this time of wrting (5/26/2025) this version of blender is not the latest. Had to install it from Blender. because Renders would not be displayed even with the proper Nvidia drivers installed. The software itself is fantastic and load quicker than its Windows counterpart. It has come a long way. I wish that people could donate to keep this amaizing software running.
This version (4.02) is outdated since the current version is 4.4. Also this version crashes and does run...
This version is outdated. Downloading from the official blender website is better
Useless. I've downloaded and installed, but get a grey panel then it immediately crashes. No Google search helped and no questions to the forum helped.
Blender is a great animation program. I'm only giving it a 3 because this package is over 8 months out of date. I am not a programmer, so it took me hours to install the new version. Please update!
It works fine, I can't use the flatpak version because my CPU is old, so I'm glad this version exists and it's easy to install.
So for those here who commented that Blender should be up to date, let me explain why it remains on a specific version for a while just like the other packages in APT. Linux mint is based on Debian. So the packages are only updated as soon as a new release of Linux Mint is available. The packages in APT are only updated only when a new release of Linux Mint is available. The packages will remain in their versions if Linux Mint is not upgraded.
I've been a Blender user for year and it's truly brilliant in every respect however Mint should remove this version. It's a joke and may well put people off using it. Even the screen shot is from the ancient pre-2.8 days. You all have two much better options: Either use the Flatpak version of if like me you don't like the bloat download the Zip from blender.org (or builder.blender.org if you want the bleeding edge stuff). It's runs perfectly straight out of the folder you unzip it to. Been doing this for years with no problem at all.
Outdated, outdated, outdated. ... But than again, relying on volunteering thirst-parties to do this seems a flawed system. As such there will probably never be a LTS version (until it has become outdated) that is not relying on some alternative & additional installed semi-OS like Snap or FlatPak. (Total freedom always turns into total chaos).
The software is awesome but need to keep it up to date with the original website.
My most used software, could do with updating more often on here, Also, is there a way I can submit a new screenshot, the current one is from the 1990s.
This needs to be updated cause this version wont work or should say open blender files that are 3.0 and higher versions.
there is the lastest version on the snap store,not sure if it works but i am gonna try it
this is SOO far behind the CURRENT version it's not even CLOSE to being funny... Why, for the LOVE OF DOG can the 'software manager' be updated more frequently?!??
Seems that the repo version is like a year old. Get it elsewhere. Other than that, Blender is awesome. But you knew that already, right?
Download Steam version. There's already a newer version of the software
Geniales Programm, !Zauberei!, ich muss dafür zwar noch viel lernen aber ich sehe welche Resultate andere damit erzielen.Es eignet sich vor allem gut zum "Modellieren" von 3D-Druck-Entwürfen (*.STL) die ehr "künstlerisch" sind und sich nicht oder schwer mit 3D-CAD-Software erstellen lassen.Kleiner Abzug in der "B-Note" Maus-Einstellungen.Ingenious program, ! Magic!, I still have a lot to learn for this, but I see what results others achieve with it. It is especially suitable for "modeling" 3D print designs (*. STL) which are very "artistic" and cannot be created or difficult with 3D CAD software. Small deduction in the "B-Note" mouse settings.
