I use a Mac now, but have a Windows VM running in Parallels. Paint.net is one of the first apps I installed on that VM. It's ridiculously easy and intuitive.

Check out Krita[0]. It's what I used after leaving Windows - a little different, maybe 25% more complicated, but has everything you need.

If you just want a MS Paint replacement, KolourPaint[1] is the way to go

Krita is great. It’s the closest thing to what once we “paint shop pro” - a no-frills but still powerful pixel editor

The closest program I've found for Mac is Pixelmator Pro, but it's not free, and the UI/workflow is more complex in my opinion. Paint.NET is still one of my favorite pieces of software on Windows.

Neither is Parallels, and if you are on Mx on Apple, you need to also buy Windows for Arm
