A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Frankly, try them out. They're free.
Darktable is looks superficially more Lightroom-like than Rawtherapee. It has a searchable library, printing, etc.
In terms of the editing workflow, however, Darktable behaves a bit differently than the Lightroom template. There is generally equivalent functionality for each of Lightroom's features (except AI masking and AI denoising). But the way to achieve the functionality is often quite different.
So read the manual, watch a YouTube or three, and you should be good to go. Darktable is tremendously good software, and every bit as capable as Lightroom in terms of professional results. Join discuss.pixls.us if you have questions.
