Lightweight MS Paint/MacPaint equivalent FLOSS in Linux?

Question

What is an equivalent to MS Paint and MacPaint that works on Linux? There is a BSD-licenced one called Paintbrush that's great for Mac OS X, but I have not found one on Linux.

I hope it can be lightweight, i.e. few dependencies, don't need GNOME, KDE, etc., but anything is fine.

Answer 1

MyPaint is my favorite alternative to MSpaint.

Answer 2

• Tux Paint, as mentioned in this answer

• KolourPaint

  

Answer 3

Depending on what you're using this for, TuxPaint might fit the bill. It's designed for children and my kids find it fun to use.

Answer 4

Another one:

• mtPaint (GTK+, GPL, GitHub...)

(This one reminds me of my old dark Amiga 500 ages :))
