yes sir.... the windows fix fixed it. in reality gimp wasn't installed correctly. I had the flatpak version installed. I reinstalled the apt version and everything was good after. the flatpak version was installed from the ISO. as for when told that my hdr method with gimp didn't work this is how you do it: pull the three exposures into gimp open into layers (in this order) the dark exposure, medium, light create grayscale layer mask On the layer mask increase both the brightness and contrast. Save as a tiff then open in darktable and play with whitebalance and play with brightness (you might have to decrease it).
