I'm running Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.1. Right clicking on the Pinta icon produces a context menu with item 'Uninstall', but when I click on it I get a message saying:

This menu item is not associated with any package. Do you want to remove it from the menu anyway?

I see no uninstall procedure for Linux in readme.md. Is there an official uninstall procedure? If not, do I simply delete the executable file in /usr/local and uninstall Dotnet?

Hey Robert, yeah it sounds like that context menu is probably
something your OS provides to try uninstalling through the package
manager
If you built from the makefile, I'd try running `make uninstall` to
remove the files it installed

T'sudo make uninstall' worked. I then installed Pinta 2.1.1 from the Ubuntu/Linux Mint repository and it works fine. Thanks.
