With the multitude of your requirements, I'd say that all of it can
certainly be done in Linux, but there isn't much that does all of it in
a user-friendly way. The top two programs for image processing are gimp
(interactive use) and ImageMagick (non-interactive use). They won't
arrange your images for you though. I use my own method, involving cp,
mkdir, mv, rm, and a script which I've been using for a decade now and
which uses ImageMagick for the donkey work. All commandline though, as I
personally don't have a use for point'n'click in this situation.

There is no usable OCR for Linux. The two open source solutions are for
specialised applications (scanning books) or practically useless. There
is a commercial one available for Linux which is almost certainly 100%
effective, but it is for seriously professional/commercial applications
and costs 4 digits.

OCR is one of those problems for which there is no straightforward
algorithmic solution, and making an application therefore requires more
than just a bit of weekend programming. This takes it out of reach of
typical open source projects. Just like speech recognition, which is
even more extreme.
