Just as a note I use kubuntu 24.04 (maybe not 24.04.1 but it is up-to-date )
I use both a regular Gimp 2.10.38 install from the PPA https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+...buntu/gimp and the gimp-2-10-38-fuse-overlay-py2.AppImage
A bit overkill, since the appimage Gimp works on its own. Using it as a launcher gives a bit more scope for "tweaking", for example I use my own MathMap installation - the composer version and still gets me python support.
Using both might also fix your keyboard entry problem.
However, I do know that the mathmap incorporated into the appimage works ok with (k)ubuntu 24.04
My other variance is, I unpack the appimage and run that from my home folder - just a preference of mine.
...I tend to agree about what a PITA 'buntu has become, I use a few old programs and it becomes harder to get them working with every new version.
