I think Studio Petrikas does a good job explaining the differences between Lightroom and darktable.
I post this link for those who may be concerned about recent events with Adobe's TOS clarification, and maybe you're looking at darktable as an option.

@adventure_tense And I went to digiKam instead of Darktable; two very good free and open source alternatives that are somewhat different, best may be related to each users need and way of working, and it is also possible to use both. So, I don't object about Darktable, only mentioning one more option! I also use RawTherapee in addition to digiKam, also free and open source. #lightroom #darktable #digikam #rawtherapee #photography
@hehemrin Absolutely. I'm glad that you mention them. Both are fantastic apps.
