There is a learning curve with GIMP. Once you get past it, GIMP is great. It does about 90-95% of what Photoshop will do and that's good enough for me. I'm fully on Linux as well. I run Arch and swear by it. I also like Open and Free BSD.
I'm an amateur macro photographer and I love taking photos and doing light tweeking to them to make them more presentable for your average person but I am definitely not going to spend the required hours upon hours to learn to do the simplest things in gimp and dark table that i can learn PS and LR in a 10 min video or less.
That being said I also refuse to pay a god dam subscription fee for something I used to own outright 20 years ago especially considering it can't even stack or slab photos even 10% as good as zerene or helicon.
