Haven't seen these two paint alternatives mentioned yet:

  1. Krita
  2. Inkscape

I think Inkscape is brought up less often because of its focus on vector graphics, which can be confusing to people new to it.

Yeah I’ve only used Inkscape a little bit but I would not categorize it as a program that can quickly be picked up

Those are nice tools but they don't replace paint, they're way more complex.

I'm using pinta. When I type "paint" in my xfce search bar, it already brings it up automatically.
