I'm trying hard to get good enough at using Darktable that I don't mind using Darktable. It's slow going.


macOS or Linux...one of them should go. Using both is crazy-making and I don't know if it's sustainable. I spent most of the day with Linux. I've gotten to the point where I almost prefer KDE and Gnome to macOS. It's the software, though. Darktable could eventually pull me from Capture One and/or Lightroom. We'll see. Emacs works well on both. But I want Tinderbox and BBEdit and TheBrain and Curio. I want Emacs bindings everywhere, by default. I want PopClip and Keyboard Maestro and Raycast. There are alternatives on Linux for some of them, but most feel...lesser. Thing is, I don't need any of it. I just want it. If I can get over that, I'd go all in.
