This is a problem for beginners to linux and also Ubuntu. Linux is more 'hands-on' than Windows. The 'default' Gimp for ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) is Gimp 2.8.22 You saw something in the (dumbed down) ubuntu software center that said Gimp 2.10? That gets you a 'snap' version. Because bionic does not naturally support Gimp 2.10 library files, all the necessary files are included in the snap 'sandbox' Gimp 2.10 runs but it is divorced from the rest of bionic files.The RT installation does not register. Similar installations are 'flatpak' which you will see on www.gimp.org and a portable Gimp, an 'appimage'. To get a working Gimp 2.10.14 (present version) for bionic you need to add a PPA. These are additional repositories provided by individuals giving applications not normally available in the main ubuntu repositories ( read repository = software center) This is a terrible forum for going into details. You can get a step-by-step procedure for installing a 'regular' Gimp 2.10 here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Gimp-2-10-10-and-Ubuntu-18-04-LTS This is for 2.10.14 Ask any questions there, I am easier to get hold of. You will need a better RT.
