Not really possible in normal circumstances.
The appimage works by unpacking all of the Gimp files into a folder in /tmp A hidden folder (starts .mount_GIMP...) and from that folder launches Gimp using a script AppRun. Since Apprun is not normally accessible you can not start Gimp from a terminal with the --verbose switch. screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/cu5Av6Y.jpg
One way is make the Gimp appimage more permanent by unpacking it. https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Unpack...p-appimage
Does not have to be in root or home. I run from a storage partition using kubuntu 20.04 That way I can make a modified AppRun script which runs --verbose from a terminal. screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/LjZhvY0.jpg
For better or worse, that is the way I use the appimage.
--------
Never liked the regular ubuntu desktop version and 'buntu 20.04 seems dumbed down. If I was not a confirmed KDE user I think I would go for Mint with the MATE DE. Same problem there with Gimp though. Install 2.10.18 and add python2 support or use the appimage / flatpak
