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:
