Unless you're incredibly deep into technical functions, Krita is 100% the way to go. Gimp is not horrible, but I have a bias against it, because i found it ridiculously unintuitive and hard to learn to use

It really depends on which features you are looking for. If you just want a solid editor with layers and plugins then gimp is pretty good. You can also try Krita for something a little less cumbersome.

Unfortunately most of the really nice editors are closed source and only mac/windows

GIMP is the best you're gonna get unfortunately.

If you just want something that's free as in price, honestly the best thing (in terms of functionality only) is pirated photoshop natively on windows. I've found PS is kinda crap on Wine.

Photopea is proprietary so at that point you may as well just pirate photoshop, at least then you're getting the real thing.

What do you mean by "unfortunately"?

As in it's unfortunate that there isn't a foss photo editor better than gimp (which us quite clunky and awkward to use)
