there was a slight typo:

yes sir.... the windows fix (a reinstall) fixed it (I run linux). 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 dark layer then 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).
