Gimp has an unstable beta that I have been enjoying: 2.99
It's got some differences... It takes a little getting used to.
But it has some definite new perks, as well.
You can check out the release page:
It's only available to install as a Flatpak because limiting Linux users and force fitting them into what the Few Want has become normal.
Fortunately, some of us abnormal folk resist:
Non-Flatpak install:
sudo apt remove --purge gimp
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mati75/gimp30
sudo apt update && sudo apt install gimp gegl
