Caveat - I do not use Fedora however checking with my Kubuntu 16.04 (deb
packages) and PClinuxOS (rpm packages) Gimp(s) 2.10.8

Are you using a flatpak? Unlikely to work, much missing from the
org.gnome.Platform runtime. Although you can get it to work if you slip a few
extra files in here-and-there (at least as far as 'buntu is concerned).

A regular install? Check that you have libheif and libx265 installed.

Probably better asking this question on a Fedora forum.
