      Ellipse selection -> fill with black -> new layer -> shrink selection by 1 pixel -> fill with white? It’s been a while since I’ve really used gimp.

        There’s a “border” command that selects the border around the current selection. Slightly more convenient

        yeah, pretty much this, just don’t forget to hold shift while using the ellipse selection to force it to create a circle

        edit: the steps in order are: Ellipse selection (hold shift for circle) -> fill with black -> shrink selection by X pixels -> new layer -> fill with white
