You will loose almost nothing. I've been using Lr from long time (until 4.x). First start simple and use only darktable (you're using only Lr, why making the workflow more complex??). My advice, don't take our word. The move will take time as you will need to learn a new workflow. I've done the following: In parallel with Lightroom for each batch of picture I took 3 or 4 and edited them in darktable too. I was not very happy at the beginning, it gets me more time to edit each picture and the rendering was not good (because I did not know how to use dt properly). I did that for almost a full year. And when I felt happy with the result and satisfied by the time I spent to edit picture with dt I did the switch for good. That meant for me deleting my dual-boot kept only for Lr, reimporting all my pictures, reworking a bit the keywords. I don't think a switch faster than this will help. And again don't use digikam, not because it is a bad software but because there is issues mixing both (see error report we had on GitHub and previously in Redmine) and it is always better to start safe.
