It is just sad to see that the imaging/image processing/image organizing world is still stuck in 1990s paradigm rather than embrace that the computers have gobs of memory, a single application can be composed of dozen of individual components talking to each other over 127.0.0.1 and background jobs is a thing.
KDE software is so great (digiKam, Kdenlive, Kate, Krita) unfortunately the KDE environment compared to Gnome is just so bug-ridden, especially when it comes to multi-monitoring, wayland-support and scaling. Gnome shines in these respecst. I wish thebest of both worlds!
I don't really have problems with multi monitor and KDE.
Largely now without tweaks, but it needed some when I originally got it to use Kisak-mesa.

Every year for at least last 5 years I have been trying Digikam. Every year like 99.9% of the reasonably complicated GUI-based single process multi-functional software written on Linux it would blow up while working with marginally large sets of files (~ 50k photos, roughly evenly split between 24 megapixel NEF files and random resolution jpegs ) It is just sad to see that the imaging/image processing/image organizin…
Sorry for somewhat unrelated query: is Digikam a replacement for Darktable? If not what's a good workflow between the two? I am a hobbyist photo taker and have only recently started using Darktable and really enjoy using it. However, it isn't a very efficient photo manager in my opinion (I may very well be missing something).
I would say they're complementary. Digikam is more of an all-around organizer and has lots of import/export stuff, tagging, and now good face recognition too apparently (the old one was based on classic Haar cascades). Darktable is for selecting a series of shots, going through them, developing the ones you want to keep.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Which would you use to replace Picasa (on a Mac) ?
