So far, the only commonality I've found between the two machines it's crashing on, are that they are Kubuntu 18.04 running on Intel i5, whereas the one it loads on is an AMD box, though I don't know if that's at all relevant.
As it happens, my desktop computer, installed new shiny SSD drive (3 weeks old today), has Kubuntu 18.04
I did initially try kesselgulasch/gimp 2.10 but decided I wanted Gimp 2.8.22 + the Gimp 2.10.x flatpak.
That is the state at the moment. See if I can replace Gimp 2.8 with Gimp 2.10
Enabling the kesselgulasch/gimp ppa and updating synaptic these are marked as upgradable but I can see that will break gimp packages.

What is missing from that upgrade, the gegl packages.
If I then go to the installed libgegl-0.3-0 and mark for complete removal I get this, pulls in dependencies and upgrades gimp.
Gimp 2.10 uses libgegl-0.4 https://i.imgur.com/0viGFNd.jpg
Forgot to disable the gimp 2.8 profile, pulled in scripts/plugins that give errors but Gimp 2.10 works.

Now, to fire up that backup snapshot to restore the kubuntu partition back to what it was
