I'm looking for a Linux tool that records mouse movements and keystrokes, lets me edit inputs and timing, saves recordings, and can loop them. I want to do this through a GUI, without writing scripts or using terminal commands.
Is there a GUI macro recorder for Linux like the ones on Windows?

Actiona is worth looking at. It has a graphical interface for automating actions, though the discussion doesn't establish whether its recording and editing features cover every requirement here. Check mouse path recording, key down and key up events, timing edits, and loops before committing to it.

One detail that could make a difference is whether your desktop session uses X11 or Wayland. Mentioning that along with your distribution may help narrow down which recording tools can capture and replay inputs on your setup.

Input Remapper and keyboard shortcut tools aren't really substitutes for this. Remapping a button or running a command from a shortcut is different from recording mouse paths and key events, then editing and looping the recording.
LibreOffice has macro recording for work inside LibreOffice, but that doesn't cover mouse input across the desktop.
