If you need CMYK rather than RGB you will certainly be better off painting in Krita using CMYK as the colorspace rather than Gimp RGB then converting....but...

Never going to be exact, your monitor is RGB.
You get better results if the monitor is calibrated but that is mainly photography biased. A good site for information is http://www.cambridgeincolour.com and start off in
https://www.cambridgeincolour.com/color-...inting.htm
A simple start for anything is the section on Monitor Calibration and Adjusting Brightness and Contrast most people have their monitor way too bright and are disappointed with dark prints.
For CMYK, this is hard going but lots of useful links.

A lot depends on purpose, CMYK is often associated with big print runs, posters, flyers etc. If that is the case ask the printing company for a test print before ordering 1000's. The other one is TeeShirt prints etc. These are never going to be wonderful, you have to compromise.
If it is a one-off, back to: Does it need to be CMYK will the printing company accept RGB.
