Krita does the job for 90% of the edits I ever do.

First choice GIMP. Then, Digikam has an image editor that provides a number of tools. Not as detailed and sophisticated as GIMP but does most things needed.

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.

Photopea -- online, but can be used as a PWA. One of the best!

There's also Krita but that's more of a Clip Studio Paint alternative ig

The closest is photopea. Not gimp, I'm afraid.

When it comes to Photoshop, there is alternative, and there is good. Unfortunately a truly good alternative doesn't exist.
