Guessing you have not updated your Mint installation for a while 
It is something that irritates me, this kubuntu 24.04 and it seems every week there is a (security) update that involves downloading the linux kernel at around a few hundred MB. It might only be a couple of lines of code that were fixed, but you still get the whole kernel.
The setup script does start off
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Which explains it. You are not missing much, plenty of other ways in Gimp.
