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).

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.

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.

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.
