You shouldn't have issues with exporting as an indexed GIF for example. The PNG bug was fixed in 2.10.38: https://www.gimp.org/news/2024/05/05/gim...ther-fixes
The file size issue may be because you're exporting as 8BPC RGBA, rather than an indexed sprite.
Ah, that is so unfortunate that the version of Gimp on the Software Manager for Linux Mint is one that is has such a horrible bug
I don't know if there is an easy way to update to that version seeing as Gimp 2.10 itself is probably outdated as 3.0 is the latest supported Gimp..
I did not see any option to export an image as an "indexed sprite" on Gimp 2.10, unfortunately. It defaults to "automatic pixelformat" which was giving corrupted image, so I used that 8BPC RGBA which did not seem to be corrupted but still bigger file size.
