What is the state of photo editing software available on Linux?
My (admittedly dated) information is that while GIMP is "ok-ish", one
still needs Adobe Photoshop (and/or Lightroom?) for anything "serious"
(whatever that means).
Of the three persons I know that are serious about photography two are
using Windows and the other macOS.
The two Windows users are technically inclined power users and have used
Linux (or still do) for other purposes. As far as I know they didn't
find it very useful for photography.
Hi Andrei,
Thanks for posting this tantalizing information.
Have your two Windows friends ever mentioned any specific task that was too slow or too clumsy or otherwise too unsuitable for linux and/or gnu?
I'm very very ignorant of the field, but it seems like it would be useful to collect a list of photography-software tasks that are currently easy or possible in windows (or mac), and not easy or not possible in linux and/or gnu. These would form something like "open problems for gnu/linux photography", and an incomplete or even very sparse list could help us get a sense of progress if any items could be ticked off.

(the macOS user is generally quite happy with it and the Apple ecosystem
in general, and is unlikely to even consider changing)
Kind regards,
Andrei
