You can do most of the same things. However GIMP is not so very well adapted to some things, and I can't find some functions, multibrush, contour brush, etc.

It is open source and free, also it is one of the most powerful digital painting apps on Linux. So if you run any kind of Linux distro, this is definitely your choice for digital drawing.
