To open a RAW file directly in Gimp 2.9.x you need a plugin.

The example using a sample NEF file is in my linux Gimp 2.9.7 using the nUFRaw
plugin which I had to compile myself because of changes to the Gimp 2.9 package.

For Windows, AFAIK the Partha version of Gimp 2.9.6 comes with nUFRaw
pre-installed. see www.partha.com

Otherwise the two applications that Gimp recognises by default and will use, are
Rawtherapee and Darktable. Both are monsters that will take over your computer,
but the place to ask question on this is not here, but https://discuss.pixls.us/
