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.

A lot of people claim good luck with PhotoPea
It's a browser app though
Extremely laggy as PWA in chromium, less laggy in chrome and has to be used in a normal browser window in firefox
Doesn't work if I'm not connected to the internet and also ads taking up ~10-15% of the window
When it's working in firefox it seems like a decent alternative and even supports opening psds which is incredibly useful but not sure I'd want to run it in a browser, if it was open source could shove it in an electron wrapper and be done with it but doesn't seem to be, their public GitHub only has branding and information
I would like to mention Pixlr E. Which I personally use. I think it's similar. Works great for someone used to older Photoshop versions (I have no experience with modern Photoshop, mind you).
