My initial reaction to the GIMP 2.10 bugs on Windows vs Linux is:  have
many Linux distros started offering GIMP 2.10 as an upgrade/update?   I
run Mint 18.3, on my laptop, and GIMP 2.10 isn't available as an update,
yet.  I don't have the time to try updating GIMP manually, so I wait for
the distribution to update the software for me.  Now that I think about
it, my mom's Ubuntu 16.04 system hasn't received a GIMP 2.10 update either.

Maybe as the distros start making GIMP 2.10 available, more Linux users
will use it.  I'm just thinking out loud.  :)

Peace...
