The default Gimp for 'buntu 18.04 is Gimp 2.8.22 so if you disable / remove the PPA you can revert to that.
For a parallel Gimp 2.10.14 there is the flatpak, snap and appimage versions. Both flatpak and snap run sandboxed and anything other than basic plugins are a problem. G'mic for example requires QT5 and that is not in the flatpak / snap versions. Other compiled plugins have similar requirements. If it is just a basic Gimp then the flatpak is fine. I used to run my kbuntu that way one time. Details for flatpak installation are on http://www.gimp.org
The appimage is a bit different. https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/
The 2.10.14-with-plugins is quite good, https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-app...4.AppImage 162 MB I have tried it with various plugins and they work ok. I would probebly go for that one. You can run it along side the regular Gimp 2.10 as well, as it uses a separate Gimp profile ~/.config/GIMP.Appimage/2.10/
