Using LM19 then Gimp 2.10.14 comes from the 'otto..' PPA
How did you remove Gimp 2.10.14 ? sudo apt purge gimp should work.
However the PPA remains in the repository source list and;
If you use apt to install gmic_gimp_qt then Gimp 2.10.14 is a dependency and will want to re-install from the PPA
If using a .deb package from the gmic site, chances are the same happens with the added disadvantage that the plugin does not work with LM19 / 'buntu 18.04 and spin-offs
After first purging Gimp, remove the PPA from the repo sources
--------------
Still not the solution because
A Gimp 2.10.18 - a flatpak or a snap. Start Gimp Look in Edit -> Preferences -> Folders. The plug-ins folder might look like this
Flatpak is a 'sandboxed' application. You can add scripts and plugins with reservations. Compiled plugins with un-met dependencies will not work. That includes gimp_gmic_qt which requires the QT libraries
Not included in the flatpak. Not possible at present = no gimp_gmic_qt
------------
At the moment, if you want to use Gimp 2.10.18 and gimp_gmic_qt in a LM 19 the option is an appimage from https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/ Look under Assets for the 2.10.18 with plugins file. (164 MB) This comes with gimp_gmic_qt preinstalled. It will also co-exist with other Gimp installations.
