I haven't used GIMP in while as I didn't have a need for it, was mainly using GIMP 2.8.20 to help document my work. Anyway, tried a new version of GIMP 2.10 today from PortableApps.com and it looks pretty good. The issue is that browsing does not work. It is big inconvenience, I can open files via drag-and-drop, so it is a little workable. The good news is that upgrade is available, go ahead to SourceForge to get the new version. I have upgraded to GIMPPortable_2.10.0-2 and it works like a champ.
Main download location:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/GIMP%20Portable/
Version that I am using that has the fix for browsing:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/GIMP%20Portable/GIMPPortable_2.10.0-2.paf.exe/download

Screen sharing on minimal installation of Ubuntu 18.04
Ubuntu 18.04 offered a minimalist install. This gets rid of a lot of software that I don't normally use, I really like this new feature. See below for this option during install.
What you pay with this option though (at least in 18.04) is that screen sharing is not working. This is how it looks like trying to configure it.
Anyway, to get it work install vino, like:
After installing vino, it should look like below. Observe that Screen Sharing option shows up just below computer name.
Additionally, to connect to it from Windows using RealVNC client, you need to disable vino encryption, like:
