[Qgis-user] Old Qgis version in Linux Mint

[Alexandre Neto]

I have a blog article on installing qgis using conda-forge.

https://aneto.pt/posts/tutorials/2019-05-29-using-qgis-from-conda/

It's on my to-do list for a while to move this content to www.qgis.org,
but...

Let's see if I can use this thread as an excuse to finally do it.
