Any tip you can give me about this? thanks
First the link layers. In Gimp 2.10 you can click in the layers dock to toggle a link icon - connected layers can move together, rotate, scale ...etc In Gimp 3.0 you now select the layer by clicking on it. Either way usual selection rules apply, ctrl-click adds individual layers, shift-click selects a range - start to finish....and you can mix those select a range - deselect individual layers. In Gimp 3 there is an indicator as to number of selected layers.
Gimp 2.10 and Gimp 3.0 are both the same, it is not possible to paint (or erase) on multiple layers. (as far as I know)
You can make a selection and delete that, one layer at a time. Not a big deal for a few layers.
For lots of layers there is the Batcher python plugin that can apply a cut-selection to multiple layers.
This a quick example of that: https://i.imgur.com/UA9o5LJ.mp4 (Note Batcher puts menu entries in the File menu which I hate, so I moved to the Tools menu, otherwise all is the same)
