It looks like different user experiences.
I like appimages, keeps stuff, (LO , scribus, firefox, krita...) that I do not use much of these days out of the OS, (makes for smaller / faster OS backups).
My no.2 laptop runs kubuntu 22.04 and the gnome.org Gimp 3.0 RC1 fails /tmp/.mount_GIMP-3ZMuv7i/usr/bin/gimp-3.0: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR' not found That sort of error not unknown when compiled on newer systems.
However the ivan-hc Gimp 3 RC1 does work with kubuntu 22.04, but out of the box no python.Python support vanished from the Gimp 2.99 build some time ago, but it is possible to side-load into the unpacked appimage. I could re-pack but not bothered. Just had another look at a ivan-hc Gimp 3.0 RC1 and python is working there out-of-the-box (at least it is here)
Together with one of the ART themes and I think that is quite a nice version.
Plenty working script-fu in all the versions, Difference clouds for example is script-fu. It might be possible to get some simpler scripts working. The one shown is guides-grid.
There is a mention on el-reg https://www.theregister.com/2024/11/15/gimp_30_release/ Very obvious that the journalists there do not do much graphics editing
What is the libc` version on your system? 2.39 on my Ubuntu 24.04
Python support should be always there, there is no longer the problem of deprecated Python 2.7. In fact in Gimp3 there is not even the option to build without it, like there was in 2.x. Startup message in the terminal could tell things.
