It's sad that most of the mentioned stand-alone (desktop) alternatives do not have a Linux option.

What kept me using Mac over Linux as my main OS was Adobe CC + Sketch. You could get _some_ stuff working with wine, but it required too much tinkering for me to be a distraction.

Now the software is less of an issue, but the battery life on my M1 is just so much better than anything else.

Well I was surprised not to see Inkscape or Darktable listed.

Yeah, these are not general recommendations, rather the stuff I ended up using.

Thanks, I'm actually going to give Inkscape another try. I think the last time I used it was 5-10 years ago.

I don't remember why I stopped using Darktable. I remember researching it and trying it out for a bit before buying CO. Does it have decent camera profiles? How do you find working with it (raw editing + culling/managing catalogues)? I use fuji mirrorless cameras.

I only tried it a little. My Fuji X-T1 is supported and I plan to get back to it real soon - I've got about 500 pictures on the camera to go through.
