Hi y’all. I’ve recently started looking at getting back into running Linux again as a main OS. With Proton and Steam all my gaming works fine. And with so many web apps those are all cross-platform anyways.

However the one application which I have not yet found a good alternative for is Adobe Lightroom. I’ve found Lightroom to be simply the best experience for managing a large (100k+) catalog of photos. I’ve really tried to get into using Darktable but while it can do a lot, I’ve found the UX to be incredibly bad and painful to use.

Is there a photo workflow app which is relatively simple, efficient and easily usable that lets me manage my photo library, can do some basic editing (levels, crop, etc.) and runs on Linux? Thanks.

    Oh yeah if you’re editing JPEGs then it’s going to be way easier, as you start with something that looks fine.

    The sliders are there but they don’t seem to work like I’d expect, so far I have not been able to replicate Lightroom results in Darktable.
