What is the GIMP equivalent of lightroom's Linear Gradient or Radial Gradient mask?

Is it a mask or just a gradient. ?  You can apply a mask to a coloured overlay or a gradient directly onto the image.

The Gimp docs about gradients: https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-gradient.html

From your image, it might go like this
(1) Select a gradient - FG to transparent - as soon as you adjust something it becomes a custom gradient
(2) Adjust the opacity down to suit.
(3) Various color spaces
(4) Various shapes - linear / radial - see the docs.

   

You do not get the fancy lines but there is a start - mid-point - end adjustments.

Once you have it drawn in, hit the enter key and select another tool or you get the gradient tool active again.

I meant a linear gradient mask (as seen in the lightroom example), not just adding a gradient of color to your image.

Well what does the example exactly show ?

Same procedure but apply it to a layer mask. see: https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Layer_Masks/

Just do a linear gradient of black to transparent on your mask as well as having the colour you want to show through as a layer below.
Do what you are able to in gimp. DO NOT try to compare them. They are not the same program!
