@ Immortality. Why not remove the background yourself? Using Linux and Gimp 2.8 ? Gimp 2.8 is OK, it has all the essential tools.
Image quality: That is not a great jpeg. Lots of jpeg artifacts. I had a quick look around, nothing better that I can see, but if there is one use it.
It can be improved a little using the gmic plugin - there is a unquatisize (jpeg smooth) filter.
IMHO nothing is better for this type of image than diving in at a pixel level using a layer mask.
If the image details are 'dubious' because of similar colours, add a duplicate and 'tweek-it' as a reference .
The default checker transparency marker can be distracting. Add a BG layer, some neutral colour light blue / green / grey. This can show up the bits you missed.
Then just a matter of (carefully) painting out the BG.
