As an avid Linux user, I can say that Gimp blows chunks.
Completely useless for any serious photographic editing. No color more
than 8 bits, and no color management.
I recently bought an old DTP-92 which works with Argyll color
management under linux. Hopefully I'll be able to run a full calibrated
workflow now with Cinepaint, lprof, and Argyll. Since I don't do any more
editing than RAW conversion with WB, levels, and curves, Cinepaint should
be adequate.
Linux is *very* immature WRT color management (and thus by
definition realy photo editing).
