Hi, I use Gimp too [2.10.8-1 | from extra repo], and never had any crashes. I removed all Arc themes [20181022 version], and replace it/them by Adapta, so i can use Ardour 5.12-7 [same version than community repo, but built by myself to have in my language] as before ... *Dancehall Echo* Web Site Promoting Reggae, Dancehall And Soca Music.

Ah, if it's specifically a real-work thing with GIMP, you'd know more than me. I used GIMP a lot but mostly at amateurish levels of image manipulation.
The last time I used it, two days ago, it way too often crashed while just doing an "amateurish levels of image manipulation", to make an image to lightscribe an Ubuntu 18.10 live DVD. Involved were opening a PNG, using a few layers, one text layer, pencil, brush, eraser, selection, cut, copy, paste, pipette, fill, scaling, toggle quick mask, no color menu thingy, no filter menu thingy, just using a mouse, no whatsoever tablet that might cause lots of data. However, it requires to work with it, just opening gimp, adding a few layers, one text layer, randomly using pencil, brush, eraser, selection, cut, copy, paste, pipette, fill, scaling, toggle quick mask one or two times, not necessarily does cause a crash.
Since gimp isn't a native audio app, even while useful for album cover art, we shouldn't dig deeper.
