Bug 795709 - Flatpack as only option is not enough.
Reorder a bit the text:
(1) Emphasize a bit the fact that flatpak is *NOT* the recommended way
of installation. Distribution packages still are prefered when possible,
if not for anything else, because flatpak still has a few issues and
even some feature loss relative to the sandbox model. Flatpak is an
additional installation medium, with its own advantages, but is still
not about to replace totally distribution packing systems.
(2) Add a title to the additional flatpak instructions to make them
stand out a bit more, in the case when the "easy way" does not work
(i.e. when flatpak is not well integrated in the distribution).
(3) Add a title for the other OSes, not supported by Flatpak, to also
make them stand out a bit more, and not having them too much lost at the
end of a wall of text.

<h2>GIMP for Unix-like systems</h2>
<p>
+ <strong>
+ If available, the official package from your Unix-like

+ <p>
+ The flatpak build is new and has known limitations, though it
+ will likely provide faster updates, following GIMP releases
+ closely.
+ <br />
+ Therefore choose your installation medium according to your
+ needs.

</p>
- <p>The flatpak build is very new and therefore may have shortcomings. It's very likely your Unix-like
system distribution already comes with a GIMP package. It is the preferred method of installing GIMP, as the
distribution maintainers take care of all the dependencies and bug fix updates. Nevertheless, note that many
distros decide to pin a specific version of GIMP to their releases, whereas our flatpak will follow GIMP
releases closely.</p>

+ <h3>Systems without flatpak support</h3>
<p>
GIMP can also run on Solaris and is available for the BSD family of systems such as FreeBSD and
OpenBSD.
