I only discovered Krita recently, but holy shit does it fill the Photoshop void very well. The UI isn’t the same as PS, obviously. But I find it much easier to navigate than Gimp’s UI. And Krita is surprisingly feature-rich.
I like Krita. But to be honest, after years and years of using GIMP, I ironically have nothing but trouble trying to rewire my brain to do things any other way. The same problem that many people have when moving from Photoshop to GIMP.
Also, i fundamentally need DDS files, which Krita (AFAIK) doesn’t handle.
You should totally get on some PS forums and start bitching about its UI being ‘backward and unusable’ compared to GIMP :)

Windows only sadly. I’m on Linux
If you don’t mind paid, Affinity is pretty nice too.
Didn’t they recently get bought by Canva? Not saying that’s a good or bad thing, but it’s something to keep in mind.
Yeah but it’s also a one time purchase
…for now.
Desperately needs Linux support though.
