The only way to have Gimp 2.10.38 with new Python 2.7 that I found is on ArchLinux and derivatives by compiling python2gimp (via yay / AUR) with some difficulty, but as far as I've managed, I can't get Gmic working.
The problem is having Gimp with Python2 installed, because in appimage there is only the IvanHC one which however has an old Python2 from Debian 10.
What I haven't tried is the one in Flatpak (genuinely developed by Gimp developers), so I don't know if python is there and what version it might be.
It ends up that to have new Python 2 and Gmic we have to use Windows. (in virtual machine? Wine?)
These days there have been changes at the scripting level in Gimp 2.99.19, but thanks to the appimages I have some different versions... and one at a time I fix the code.
