Sorry off topic for RT but…
Just a note about Gimp. The 'buntu / Mint version from the repo is 2.10.36 There is a Gimp 2.10.PPA that gets you 2.10.38 - the last 2.10 release - some bug fixes.
There are othe PPA’s for Gimp 3.x and I favour this one
Currently 3.2.4 New releases and updates are quick to come through.
However, IMHO it is all about what you are comfortable with and productivity. You might be more productive with a Gimp 2.10.x and all the years of useful plugins & scripts not yet replicated with Gimp 3.x
I frequent A Gimp forum and do keep a PPA Gimp 3.2.4 to answer questions and also a 2.10.38 appimage (with python) for some work that is only easily done there.
just my opinions.
