Linux photogs, help me out. What does your workflow look like? What apps do you use?

I've found that digikam is really good for managing my keywords and metadata, and organising photos post shoot, but the image editing is limited.

And using separate image editing software leads to problems, because my camera's raw files (.cr3) aren't very well supported.

I can make it work, by using Lightroom online, but it's not exactly an integrated system due to its cloud based design.

I've tried running Lightroom in a VM, but ran in to trouble giving the VM access to my GPU...

So those who have made it work, what does it look like for you?

I've been using Rawtherapee since ~2013 and it has its quirks but covers all of my needs.

For panorama/mosaics I'll process the whole batch of photos in Rawtherapee then do the stitching with Hugin.

The rare times I need to make a spot edit (like removing sensor dirt) I go back to good old Gimp.

Everything is organized in a directory structure by subject/location and date to make it easy to back up and not reliant on a DB or some other software.

It's not really an integrated solution but it's simple and works for my low-volume of photos.
