I'm so happy to see where desktop linux is at this point. Ubuntu never has failed on me for the last 5 years. Tools like LibreOffice are good enough and they're bad only because WYSIWYG document editing itself is bad. At office where we use Windows, half the people are not even given MS Office suites because LO does just fine.

Recently I evaluated Lightroom, an industry standard for photo post processing for a damn good reason, against Darktable and found preferring Darktable's take on picture manipulation. And I was ready to throw $1000 for a Windows PC just to be able to run lightroom if it proved to be so much better.
