"Gimp is good but i miss the heal patch" ...not really.
Resynthesize is a heal selection plugin you can add to Gimp. With many software store manager like the one from Linux Mint all you have to do is simply to add the additional components in the software page
Otherwise you can download it from github and add it to your plugin folder following those guides

Anyone who's used this, please tell us if it's any good.
It’s solidly okay. I wish it were in brush form like Photoshop was, and I wish it were better-optimized; it’s written in Python and a bit slow. I think Photoshop GPU accelerates this.
Still, usable for a lot of things.
It's fine. I'm not a professional, but I've used it before. It was enough for what I wanted to achieve.
