GIMP is bitmap only, it doesn't do vectors. Well, there is the paths thing,
but that's only to create selections; I don't think you can export paths.
I think Corel ported their bitmap to vector conversion program to Linux. I
doubt it is free though. But cheaper than Illustrator probably.

I think he did, just not recently.
But why do you assume everyone uses Windows? Windows is on about 90% of the
desktops; that is a lot but 10% is certainly not neglible. And I dare to say
that non-Windows operating systems are relatively popular among MSX users.
Anyway, let's leave it at that, before we set off another pro/contra MS flame.
Bye,
