The latest version of Gimp in Linux Mint 21.2, is :
Version:2.10.30-1build1

Updates to apps, including gimp, do not come immediately to Linux Mint.

There is quite a bit of research happen first, to ensure that the 'update' will not break anything in the Linux system

Te current stable release from the gimp website is : 2.10.36 (2023-11-05).

Warnings and information​

• Flatpak build available in: x86-64 and AArch64 (note: i386 and ARM-32 versions used to be published, yet are now stuck at GIMP 2.10.14 and 2.10.22 respectively).
• If available, the official package from your Unix-like distribution is the recommended method of installing GIMP!

As @Condobloke mentioned, Mint/Ubuntu are usually a little behind. That isn't bad, because it means they are more thoroughly tested. If you want the "latest and greatest" versions of software, you might want to move to a rolling release like Arch or Fedora,
they tend to update more frequently, but the downside is, they are a little less tested before they are released.

You could install the Flatpak version of Gimp to get the most recent version of Gimp on Mint.

Personally, I'm content with an AppImage of 2.10.25, built into a 'portable' ROX-App directory with its own self-contained config files. It does everything I need from it, so.....why change?

I'm still using 2.8 in some of my 32-bit Pups. Again, it does what I need from it....

Version 2.10.36 runs flawlessly on my Slackware install.

And version 2.10.34 runs great on my Debian 12 Cinnamon install.
