Sprite and pixel art tools on Linux (programming.dev)

I'm looking for a good sprite/pixel editor for desktop Linux. I don't mind shelling out some money for the right tool.

Sprite organization is the key feature Animation support is a must Artistic lighting effects and such would be nice Compatibility with godot and unity is a plus

What are you using for sprite making/organization on linux? What other features do you find useful/essential?

Thanks!

Aseprite was forked as Libresprite due to the constraints of Aseprites licensing if you're looking for a free option: https://libresprite.github.io/#!/

This is good, I prefer free-as-in-freedom even if I have to pay license fees. Is there a side by side feature comparison between libresprite and asesprite? Is libre missing anything super useful?
