Hi,
That difference seems to be related to color space. Darktable uses a
much bigger color space than sRGB (or even AdobeRGB), so when
exporting there has to be some mapping between them (that's what the
intent option is for). The "soft proof" button in darkroom allows you
to switch between DT's color space and any other (sRGB in particular)
to check the result of this mapping. When I do that on your picture I
get an effect very similar to the screen capture.
So what do people usually do get the best results? I guess I should use
sRGB for showing it in the browser and just deal with the bad colors but
when I do prints or It's for me showing it on my computer then I should
chose a bigger color space?
Obviously I had the biggest problems with printing because of RGB vs
CYMK I guess, I was more often than not disappointed about the colors
when I finally got my 250 vinyl discs or my 500 CDs or the print for the
wall. But that is a different story and I'll need to learn about that
some other time.
