Masks - MironW - 05-03-2023
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.

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!
