Lightroom is the last holdout in apps that I can't yet replace with a linux equivalent, That being said, it's not the photo editing aspect I'm looking to replace, as there are lots of tools out there for that. What I'm having trouble replacing is the photo organisation aspect, and more specifically, something that supports/imports Lightroom hierarchal keywords. I've got nearly 20,000 keyworded photos collected over decades, and at the moment, I'm largely chained to Lightroom to keep them organised.

Darktable is great for image editing, and workflow, and it even supports hierarchical keywords, but I've not found a way of getting my existing hierarchical keywords out of Lightroom in to Darkroom. When I import the images, it imports the keywords as flat keywords, and that would require months of effort to organise again.
