Hey, I tried to get used to gimp as advanced image editor for a long time, but is just nothing I can work with, so I wanted to ask if you know some alternatives (for Windows).

Inkscape is amazing and easy to learn for vector stuff, like Illustrator, but maybe Krita for image editing and drawing. (also i highly recommend at least dual booting linux)
Dual booting is a pain in the ass though.
do you mean the installation or daily use? my biggest problem was shrinking the windows partition, but after i got that, the setup (linux mint) was pretty straight forward imo. i quickly stopped using windows altogether after a few weeks. you can always use a virtual machine or wine or whatever if you need windows-only programs
It’s a pain to constantly have to reboot to switch between them, you have less disk space, and Windows will sometimes interfere with the Linux installation. Plus there isn’t enough things I can’t do in Linux, that I can in Windows to justify it.
good point. linux > dual boot > windows
I’m thinking about getting Linux too on my device (can’t replace Windows, bc I need it), but I still currently did not find a Linux Distro I wanna use, I though about QubesOS, but I wanted to try it first before I install it and realize it’s unsuable for my workflow.
you can always try it out in a virtual machine :) i would personally recommend linux mint if you want something that works well out of the box. its ubuntu/debian based, so lots of package support and community, also very popular with beginners. endevouros is also good, tho slightly less beginner friendly, as it is arch based and has less preinstalled programs.
I tried with QubesOS in VirtualBox, but it breaked at some point :D In the startscreen. Okay, thank you I will try it out.
QubesOS is most likely overkill and it’s probably not a good choice for beginners. Try Fedora, Manjaro, Pop OS, Elementary, Mint, Garuda or other more friendly distros. Just avoid plain Ubuntu & it’s flavors. It’s cancer nowadays.
