     @SuperSnekFriend @slashdot C-n <return>
     e (ellipse tool)
     Draw ellipse.
     Set x y size in the menu to equal values to make a circle.
     Image -> Guides -> New Guide (by Percent) -> 50% horizontal (optional)
     Image -> Guides -> New Guide (by Percent) -> 50% vertical (optional)
     e (ellipse tool) (optional)
     Drag circle near the center and it snaps to the center (optional).
     Select -> Border -> 2px <return>
     Shift-b (Bucket fill tool)
     Fill circle.
     Now you have a perfect circle.
     
     
     There is also another faster way to do it;
     e (ellipse tool)
     Draw circle.
     Edit -> Stroke Selection -> Select stroke options -> <return>
     Done.
     
     I forgot about the latter way until now, as I've never wanted to draw a circle outline - I've wanted a filled in circle before and that's just ellipse tool + bucket fill tool.,

     Please list every step you took from start-up to rendering the circle. If you had any setting different from default that made the goal easier to reach, also list that.

     GIMP has a path tool, so you can draw whatever shape you want.
     
     That proprietary malware is useless, as it doesn't have the pepper brush and can't do this;

     Well, looking at Affinity's and Photoshop's docs, their recommended is surprisingly the same as the stroke method in Gimp. Props to Gimp for not being a bork.HOWEVER, Affinity has a shapebuilder tool and Photoshop offers more than the ellipse and rectangle that Gimp offers.
