Have to confess I do not know PS drop shadow. Is this on small text, size 27 px
???

Needs recent Gimp 2.10 You could try Filters -> Light & Shadow -> Long Shadow.

Whatever it is you are applying the shadow to, duplicate the layer and if
necessary make the layer canvas size for a bit of working room.

Settings initially as screenshot 1. Then opacity and linear-burn applied as
layer modes. screenshot 2.

There is a setting there (Style) to fade out but nothing to taper if that is
required. There are 3-rd party plug-ins to apply various effects.
