From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I never had this issue since I use GIMP decades ago. But I know in older GIMP versions (and I mean up to relatively recent versions) loading can take very long if you have ton of fonts. I don't know how long it has been since you tried it out. There was attempts to asynchronously load fonts and other optimizations to make it start up fast. At least for me GIMP starts... let me test it again... in less than a second. Having a fast drive plays definitely a role here too.

And it depends what method you used to install. If it was Snap on Ubuntu in example, well that is on Snap most probably.
