I really like Krita, way simpler than GIMP.

Krita is the best alternative to Photoshop and it runs on every platform (including Linux).

Even trying GIMP over multiple years I could never make sense of it's UI but Krita is a breeze and incredibly powerful.

Krita is literally a KDE app

Coming from Photoshop (and no longer doing any serious graphic work), I've found https://www.photopea.com/ (an in-browser photoshop clone) to be really great for 99.9% of my needs.

It's free, has the same UI as photoshop so no re-learning hotkeys, and is browser-based.

Anyone seen photopea.com ?

Online-based tools rarely gain any professional trust as they can just disappear without a trace one day. Some occasional editing - maybe, putting a trade at the mercy of an online-only solution - never.

Another aspect is privacy. Medium- and high-caliber professionals are reluctant to share the innards of their work with anyone.
