Thonny unable to open windows

I want to write my python code using thonny, but I seem to be getting some error when trying to open a file in thonny (Ctrl + O) and when instantiating a window, for example with TKinter. The exact error can be found here:

17:21:40.785 WARNING thonny.ui_utils: Zenity returned code 255 and stderr ‘Diese Option steht nicht zur Verfügung. Bitte verwenden Sie »–help« für alle Anwendungsmöglichkeiten.\n’ The text is german and says “This option is not available. lease use --help for viewing all options”. For now I’ll just use vim instead, but I really wanna go back to thonny. Has anyone ever experienced something like this before?

In case it matters, here is output I get from the terminal when running the program on startup:
