Going back to your original post and quote...this I've read in several other threads people make casual reference to experiencing problems with Gmic, and as someone who just started using it, I'm curious what "well known" problems people are experiencing?
A lot of the problems are just installation problems, Windows in particular now has an excellent gimp_gmic installer, always someone who uses the zip and get it wrong. Otherwise, often it is using an old version and updated filters not working, mostly those in the testing (community) section.
Any other errors usually fixed very quickly when David Tschumperlé is informed. For that version 2.9.4 there are 398 filters rising to 566 with the testing section.
I have a feeling that the problem might just be the actual knoppix system. It is 32 bit, and depending on your computer might leave memory a little tight.
You can start with the 64 bit kernel, Gimp is still 32 bit but you might get better performence. This a comparison and you get more cache and swap space. Laptop with 8GB memory
That first one using a bit more memory, after installing the gimp_gmic_qt plugin That is one slow installation
