Text along path distorts text

[R3dm1i]

When I use text along path on a circle the text gets distorted the closer it gets to the middle of the image, I'm using version 2.10.32 on Windows 10

Yes, this is due to the algorithm used. A different implementation that doesn't distort letters (but can lead to overlaps) and has several useful options can be found here.

For regular text like that (one font / one size) try Ofnuts plugin ofn-text-along-path.py
see: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-ofn-text-along-path

The usual place is http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-pat...s/scripts/  Look for ofn-text-along-path.zip dated 2021-03-17

Unzip, read the incuded help notes, the ofn-text-along-path.py plugin goes in (for Windows users)
C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins

Edit: Had to check that my version was up to date ;

Looks like this, Super-imposed over your image.  Note in particular the N and the B
