That's interesting. I don't know that I've ever heard
of anyone who actually prefers GIMP to any other free
option. (One can even get PSP5 free now. I paid $100
for it originally.) And you don't mind the floating toolbars?
Last I saw it was possible to sort of make them sit still,
but there still wasn't a parent window to contain it all.



My solution for GIMP, was to use an older version.

GIMP 2.4.7 uses Save instead of Export, the way you
would expect.

With the fad of "containers" on the rise, GIMP is having
a hard time during installation or during the addition of plugins.
Apparently there are problems caused by the usage of
Flatpak. And Windows 10 will be getting containers in
the next release, so we can expect more of the same here
(side effects of containers, need for new manifests or
whatever).
