Hello! Is there an easy process to create a text shadow like in the image?
I know how to do it with complex operations, but is there a simple solution?
For gimp 2.10.X, Filters > Light and Shadow > Drop Shadow...
Yes I knew about Drop Shadow but it doesn't render the same effect at all...

To obtain the desired result with Drop Shadow, you need to apply the filter on a layer containing the text part only.
From your image,
1) duplicate the layer
2) Colors > Color to Alpha (and pick the yellow color)
3) Drop Shadow
Yes but as I said, the Drop Shadow effet (top) is very different from what I want (bottom).
One way: ref these screenshots:

Make the text layer then menu
Layer -> Text to Path (1) That gives a path as (2) Toggle path visibility on/off with the little eye icon in the paths dock.
Add a new transparent layer under the text layer (3) choose a suitable brush (4) and brush size (5)
Then
Edit -> Stroke Path and stroke with a paint tool "Paintbrush" Click on Stroke button.
Gives a slightly fuzzy outline with rounded corners using whatever foreground colour is set. (6)
edit: All standard Gimp, not complex
Do you have the "Grow radius" parameter in the filter ?
This is what tmanni referred to: Came in with Gimp 2.10.20 GEGL Drop Shadow, the grow radius parameter.

Set X and Y to zero Small blur radius. Adjust Opacity. Play with Grow Radius
