Sadly, they don't exist for non-MacOS or non-Winders OS's. Mac
hardware is too expensive, and Winders is such a toy under the hood it's
fairly useless for any real multitasking work.
If Photoshop were available for Linux, I'd be running that in a
heartbeat.
To answer the OP, I use the Gimp once in awhile when the
8-bits/channel limitation isn't important. If I need real color depth, I
use a fork of the Gimp called Cinepaint. That works, but it's based on an
older version of the Gimp and is a bit flakey.
