firstly: generally on my "small penguin" (very custom samsung ported with ubuntu 20.04 exactly) i have waydroid severely broken (doesn't even open) so no android apps, same with flatpak and snapd (only downloadable .deb's , apt, openstore, maybe appimage, web/pwa or - in worst case - from source works actually).
secondly: tried gimp (from apt) and it'd be usable but only if i connected phone to bigger display and connected mouse, but for normal usage - nope too (like - turns on and everything but ui isn't scaled properly and some menu items i have hidden under screen curves, not saying that it simply crashes after like 15 minutes of work, probably cause of ram/cpu/gpu issues).
thirdly: on laptop i mostly use pixelorama (only sometimes gimp when want to add effects) and for laptop it's perfect but using same thing via web (on snake itch.io ) have problems like no file export and some other glitches (tried on phone web version too but nope).
If you’re willing to go slightly more DIY, you might also look at running mtPaint via .deb — it’s extremely lightweight and won’t choke your system like GIMP, though the UI isn’t exactly modern or touch-friendly.
