I decided to bite the bullet and install Gimp. Converting formats and resizing take a while (I think due to my puny hardware processing the image) but it gets the job done.
easier than
convert img.gif -coalesce img/xx_%05d.png
?If you want a nice tool for conversion and photo management, try https://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewmp/#downloads ... it's not open source, but it is free (there are some buttons for appimage and deb). You use the "batch convert" tool for what you need, and it has a lot of image editing in there... filters, resize, crops, formats, watermarks. (Not that gif to frames thing)
Used to use XNview back on Windows a few years ago, but I'd prefer free-libre. I'll edit my OP.
