Gimp comes from unix roots (now linux) where separate windows is often the norm.

Only recently, with Gimp 2.10 that  Single window mode became the default with
installation. The old multi-window mode is still there, bottom of the Windows
menu, a toggle for Window mode.  See the screenshot.

Single window mode came about from moaning PS users who hated the Gimp
multi-window mode. I use single window most of the time, if I want to compare
another image I open with a basic file viewer, however multi-window mode still
has its uses. There, if you need it.

There are other forums dedicated to Gimp, nothing to stop you picking tips up
from them. try gimpchat.com for a starter, plenty artists there.
