Is there something similar to Adobe Lightroom for Linux?

Question

I know about digiKam and Photivo, both of which are excellent software for post-processing RAW photographies and performing minor edits. However, these two programs aren't that good at organising large amounts of photography files, the way Lightroom is. On the other hand, there is Shotwell, F-Spot and I dare even mention Picasa, for being also available for free use. These programs have the advantage of coping really well with vast galleries of photography, but they don't have nearly as potent editing capabilities as the other programs. It seems to me that the only software that combines good post-processing capabilities and the ability to handle large amounts of photography data is Adobe Lightroom. My question, then, is the following: do you know any software for Linux which has a good balance of these two essential features?

Answer

As far as I know, the best bet for Linux is Darktable. Workflow management and raw editing all in one.
