Probably all distributions "have" that, you just need to learn how to
install software from the distribution's repositories. You need to learn
that anyway so I think it is easier than reinstalling from scratch.
For any Debian-based distribution you usually just need to "sudo apt
install darktable" to install Darktable. For the rest you just need to
figure out which packages you need to install.
For example:
$ apt-cache search display calibrat
argyll - Color Management System, calibrator and profiler
argyll-dbg - debugging symbols for argyll
argyll-doc - Color Management System, calibrator and profiler (documentation)
argyll-ref - Color Management System, calibrator and profiler (data files)
dicomscope - OFFIS DICOM Viewer
dicomscope-doc - OFFIS DICOM Viewer - documentation
libdicomscope-jni - OFFIS DICOM Viewer (JNI files)
dispcalgui - Graphical user interface for the Argyll CMS.
imagej - Image processing program inspired by NIH Image
jstest-gtk - joystick testing and configuration tool
kgamma5 - monitor calibration panel for KDE
python-pyoptical - python interface to the CRS 'OptiCAL' photometer
r-cran-rocr - GNU R package to prepare and display ROC curves
xcalib - Tiny monitor calibration loader for Xorg
A good candidate appears to be "dispcalgui" which you can install by
running "sudo apt install dispcalgui". Package dependencies
automatically pull in everything you need (argyll, besides others, in
this case).
