  • which version of Tux Paint you're using
    it appears on the splash screen when you launch it, is part of the name of file you downloaded, if applicable (e.g, "tuxpaint-0.9.27-2-windows-x86_64-installer.exe"), appears at the top of your installed version's documentation, and is shown if you run the command "tuxpaint --version" from a terminal/shell/console, on systems that offer one
  • how you installed Tux Paint
    e.g. Windows installer EXE vs. Windows portable ZIP, Android via Google Play vs. direct APK file download, etc.
