recently I bought a Chromebook, I love it so much, it has Linux container enabled and I downloaded Firefox, GIMP, and Krita, but my Chromebook is only 64GB, so that can be a lot!!! So what web apps or low storage alternatives can I use?? I know Photopea, but what about drawing? Thank you!!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Lazpaint might be worth a look. Also Mypaint

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.
