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
