I use the web based Lightroom as an installed PWA for most of what I need. I’ve got a windows 11 VM that I can run for a few features that are left out of the web version or if I need something in Photoshop that photopea can’t do. If I really need better performance for something I’ve got a Windows “To Go” install on a nvme in an external enclosure I can boot into.
My current photo workflow is to import and use geeqie to quickly batch rename, and sort with ratings. Then I upload the rated selections to lightroom for editing.
I dabble a bit with raw therapee and darktable. But I do a lot of editing on my android phone and tablet on the couch. So adobe keeps me locked in.
The web version of light room is so close to feature parity with the desktop version (not classic) that they really should just flesh it the rest of the way out since they will never make a native Linux version.
