From the above
I think CMYKstudent identified the indexed png file size issue. Using RGBA doubles the file size.
Some comparisons: RGBA v. Auto and I turn off every option except save-resolution.

EDIT: Just seen the comment about autoformat corrupting the image. Not happening here, wonder what is happening with your installation ?
With my settings Gimp 210 comes in slightly smaller than the original that was posted here.
...and for Gimp 2.10... this appimage that comes with python 2 for all those useful python plugins.

Tried with Mint 22.1 - works but I did need to install fuse-overlayfs
Quote:.....unfortunately I need the filters like sharpen, gaussion blur, ect. so it's not something I can use for everything like I am used to...I thought about a VM as well, but it is a big overhead just for running an old version of Gimp.
and
How about installing via VirtualBox....
