P: Provide support for Linux

Then Adobe will have "won". They'll have won in a way that aspiring Linux users will continue to be recommended to move to Darktable, and Adobe won't have to get off their lazy bottoms to build a Linux version for those who can't or won't move to Darktable.

Just move to darktable. Many pro have already moved to this software. I myself use it since many years and I try to stop loosing my time here.

It's a shame there's not yet linux support. I might decide to switch to another software soon, just because other things (windows 10 policy towards new Intel and AMD processors for example) matters and being on those closed platforms is becoming year after year more unacceptable

Any update on that one? Or you will update the whole API wit LR 7 (CC2017)? Actually when to await it?

I tried them out, Darktable and Aftershot Pro, and while ASP has its flaws. like too many crashes and slow updates, I still like the images I get from it. Perhaps depending on what camera. In this case, this image is form my Fuji XT1, but I also use Nikon: http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1482420737.png

I just noticed the screenshot appears a bit dull, nothing like how it appears here on my pc where it is more vivid.

2.0.7 is faster, I had 2.0.3 installed. Changes are not as quick as with ASP, but I could work with this. OpenGL is installed and so is the Nvidia driver.  I will try it out again.

For the UI, well it fits me, after some months of working with darktable it felt just ok to me. You'll need to give some time, switching from one tools to another is always a challenge.

My experience for switching was while still using Lightroom I started developing some pictures with darktable. After some time, when I felt that I could achieve the same effect and when I was comfortable with darktable I switched for good removing my dual boot altogether.

@7326661, I'm not sure what can render darktable slow on your machine. With an i7 and 16Gb (my config too) I have also instant response for any changes! What was the last darktable you've tested?

Note that darktable supports OpenCL (Nvidia and AMD only) and makes things even faster.

My recommendation would be to test latest version (2.0.7 and very soon 2.2 will be out) and test. If you still have slowness you should go to the darktable user's forum to get help. This is not the best place to debug darktable issues 🙂

@17823272 I also like Darktable, but I can't get used to the UI. Also, compared to Aftershot Pro which I'm using now, Darktable is very slow. Even when only changing brightness or sharpness or when I move an zoomed image across the screen, it takes about a second or two or three to get back to me and I can see the result. That is not workable, unless I have to change a setting I'm not aware off.

I'm a professional photographer (and webdesigner) who switched to Linux years ago and I don't ever want to go back to Windows or Apple. So I need a system that is good and fast. Currently I use Linux Mint 18 on a i7 machine with 16Gb or ram. Perhaps you can give me some advice, and then I will try Darktable once more :).

Note also that you have plenty of tutorials around now.
