Despite this not being FOSS like GIMP, I think it's great that there is at least some very viable alternative that can run on Linux even with some workaround, for free (besides Photopea).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is this better than GIMP?
I’m going to say yes, easily. Even Photopea is significantly better than GIMP. But for most basic tasks GIMP is fine. IDK if GIMP even supports non destructive editing though
it does now, most important feature in gim3 is non destructive layers
