THIS LIST HAS BEEN DELETED DUE TO A BUG, SO IT MISSES SOME HONORABLE MENTIONS !
I've been using Linux for a year now. I do use CLI tool and the terminal but I'm super used to GUI and I do understand why you might don't want to bother with Terminal and stuff ! Here is my list of useful tools for beginners on Linux !

sadly, no longer free/open source software as of 2016. see [https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/commit/5ecc356a41c8e29977f8608d8826489d24f5fa6c#commitcomment-18865891](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/commit/5ecc356a41c8e29977f8608d8826489d24f5fa6c#commitcomment-18865891) and the thread in general
unable to edit the app on alternativeto, because it is locked :/
I tried out three different pixel art programs: Pixelorama works best for me because it's free and open source, while Aseprite is paid (expensive 19.99 $)and offers nearly the same functions I need. Piskel, however, lacks some essential features, such as transparency.
still paid if you'd like to use the most up to date versioned releases, but overall just wonderfully customizable software. A great variety (and still growing too) of plugins, themes for UI style, scripts, you name it. consider this software if you want something to your full liking that you can mess around with.
PS. I love to use this for game development, its just my thing. Though I also tend to switch between different software out of my mood being different towards something else some days, Aesprite I always come back to.
One if not the best Pixel Art Editor
