From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

CMYK support is getting there but very slowly.
You can import, export, and proof in CMYK today and you can have a CMYK color profile. GIMP 3.1.2 added total ink coverage for CMYK so 3.2 will have that. However, everything is still handled as sRGB internally.
With GIMP 3, all the required plumbing is there to handle CYMK natively. If I had to guess, I would expect it around GIMP 3.4. So, probably 5 years or more from now.
