Ubuntu is my default system, for many reasons, photography is just my new hobby.
I use ubuntu 18.4 with an old apple cinema 27 hooked to Nvidia GC
Software: GIMP 2.8 for stacking, Darktable is a Darkroom knockoff and Raw Therappe for raw handling.
Suggested Hardware: Wacom Bamboo, or Monoprice - works fine with ubuntu generic drivers, with at least 4th, 5th gen i7, 16 MB ram, m2drive, recent Nvidia
Installation is super simple couple of <enter> hits and ok's, no additional drivers necessary, choose factory Nvidia driver to avoid occasional deep sleep freezes.
all mentioned software is available via snap <software icon>
just to be honest: I spent 25 and bought luminar 18 for windows online because Lightroom had no stacking feature available, but for basics, Ubuntu does it for me.
