Inkscape is definitely the better choice for dedicated vector work, but vectors as part of a composition is possible now in GIMP. https://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-3.2.html#vector-layers

Look at how to create, move and transform a circle in photoshop (or if you don’t want to give adobe money, use photopea).
