What do you mean by "software center"? Do you mean the "Ubuntu Software" app?
When I look at Ubuntu Software it shows 4 entries for Gimp. It claims I have many of them installed. There are three sources. They are 'ubuntu-eoan-universe' (2.10.8-2), 'dh.flathub.org' (2.10.12), and 'snap store' (2.10.18). When I use "Show Applications" (the grid of 9 dots at the bottom left) and search for Gimp. I see three icons. I haven't investigated them. I have a link in my Favourites which points to 2.10.8. I've no idea how I achieved that! Sorry. I must sort it out!
