Have you tried photopea.com ? I dunno if it's light enough for you, but it's basically Photoshop in your browser, done in JavaScript.

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.

yes of course!! Thank you! But I also want a web app for drawing, Photopea is mostly for image editing.
I'm not sure what you mean. Artists use Photoshop for drawing, yet Adobe advertises Photoshop mostly for image editing. Even though Adobe advertises Photoshop for image editing, which should include fully editing your own photographs imo, the only proper Denoise AI is built into Lightroom lol. Photopea also supports pressure sensitivity, so it should work just fine for drawing. Tools aren't that big of a deal. People who design beautiful presentation decks use PowerPoint after all... with the default system fonts.
KDE's MS paint alternative is actually pretty decent, I believe it's called Kolourpaint.
I'm also aware of Pinta.
Idk what "container" means in this case, but gimp is only like 80 MB + some dependencies you probably already have installed. Do you mean RAM or HD memory? In any case it should be much less than 64 GB.
the Linux terminal of chromeOS is a virtual machine but it does affect chromeOS, as in everything that gets downloaded from the terminal will show up as applications of course!!
Aggie.io is pretty good, it supports pressure sensitivity and layers. It also has online collaboration.
wait but there is one thing that I need to know!! The "Magma" version of Aggie gives you a commercial license, does that mean that the free version of Aggie will not let you do that?? So that means no commissions or selling your art?? Oh no!!
I think magma is something else, the tos on aggie.io doesn't mention anything about copyright.
64GB is very, very low for even a phone these days. Usually web apps are even more heavy than regular ones.
Get more storage, a proper computing device or rent a VPS to connect via remote desktop.
Lazpaint might be worth a look. Also Mypaint
give azpainter a try, it's what i used to use for drawing with a 2007 dual core laptop until not too long ago
heads up, the ui is kind of a mess, you most likely will have to re arrange it to your liking and there is a bit of a learning curve there, but it's a pretty powerful piece of drawing/painting software nonetheless
ChromeOS is a bad Platform that causes sick habits due to artificially low hardware standards.
Pinta is a good light drawing app. GIMP or Krita are both heavy for sure.
I disagree with that!! SD card fix for Chromebook!! Nya!
Use Btrfs partition with compression, my entire arch install takes less than 6GiB on disk space, and I have gimp, inkscape and kdenlive installed: https://imgur.com/HofMHUJ.png
In fact I have the OS partition limited to 35GIB. And it should have been 25GIB or less.
