    I use digiKam as the replacement for Lightrooms photo management tools.

    I used darktable as a replacement for Lightroom’s photo editing tools.

    I use a hosted Photoprism install for making the photos available online, sharing with friends/family etc.

        Digikam has really strong tagging, searching and workflow tools. So I import to Digikam, sort by quality, reject/approve and tag in Digikam, and I use it to launch specific photos in to darktable for editing.
