Krita is such a horrible crashy mess - most of the time all I need is good old MS Paint (plus free rotate) but I after two decades of Linux I've yet to find a paint app that doesn't overcomplicate everything with layers and selectors and modes. ๐ญ
fyi mspaint should run fine with WINE https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=373
So, Rhynoplaz was after "fancy" stuff, but okay, I suppose that there's an use case for a MacPaint/MS Paint analog, with a low barrier to just get going.
Maybe Drawing for GNOME or KolourPaint for KDE? It doesn't look like either of those support layers. Drawing looks like it lets one drag a rectangular selection to rotate to non-90-degree increments. KolourPaint doesn't, but it lets one choose to rotate and input an arbitrary number of degrees.
I haven't used either, myself, other than just to check now. They're both packaged in Debian, so they're probably also gonna be packaged in any Debian-family distro.
EDIT:

https://apps.kde.org/kolourpaint/
Both describe themselves as being "simple" paint programs.
