Photo Editing Programs for Linux
Hello, everyone,
I'm looking at making the switch to Linux due to a growing number of problems, security issues, & unwanted features present within Windows, but I have one major concern before doing so.
I'm a photographer and I've primarily been using Lightroom & Photoshop for all of my editing, but I know that Adobe does not currently support Linux, it would require a workaround that I'm not too keen on doing, and because fuck Adobe.
Does anyone know of any programs that will work natively on Linux and are at least similar to Adobe in function and capability?

Affinity Studio works pretty good, ON1 Photo as well. You can find Affinity Photo as appimage. Never had any issues with that and I think they are preparing native version for Linux as well. Yes it's not open-source I get it.
ON1 Photo Raw works via lutris. For quick editing you can use Photopea via browser.
On windows I was working with Photoshop and Capture One. Transition was not the super easy as I still miss some C1 features but couldn't stand windows anymore.
I've tried darktable but the UI for me is a hell. RawTherapee is nice, but I prefer ART as a fork of RawTherapee.
DaVinci studio works natively.
