Linux Discussion?

DigiKam, RAWTheropee, and DarkTable all support RAW images. There are a couple plugins for GIMP that support RAW too

If you just looking for a small desktop why not just pickup a Meerkat from System76?

I've used raw therapee and it's quite nice, I found it had the tendency to induce green fringing in some cases. Now this could be a lens correction profile issue. I didn't notice it in Lightroom. The images on windows Lightroom looked a bit better.

I've found dark table about as counterintuitive as gimp

Still, I intend to keep trying.

Another reason I've not done system 76 or something like that is because I want to do it myself, like I used to years ago. Still, I'll check it out.

Priced out a meerkat for about 640. Base everything

Ps is counter-intuitive to people who don't use it too.

Yeah that's true, much like Android is counterintuitive for iOS users and vice versa

I got mostly everything connected, wires and such, plugged the sucker in, stuck a USB thumb drive with a Linux distro I had within reach, flipped the switch and waited for it to fail...

It posted! Had do select f2 to restore defaults I didn't quite catch the message. I booted from the USB and quickly dumped me into Ubuntu.

I guess it worked!
