Your old brushes should work fine.  Check in your
/home/(your-name)/.gimp-2.8/brushes/ directory (enable "view hidden
files" in your file browser).  It's probably empty; just dump the
old ones in there.

If it's not empty, you can make a subdirectory under /brushes, call
it old-ones or whatever, and put the old ones in there.

Either way,the GIMP should find them next time you start it and make
them available via the Brushes dock window.
