Brand new to linux, and looking to add darktable.  I am currently
using Linux Mint 18.2 Cinnamon with the 64 bit os.  It has gimp, but
another lightroom replacement that is not non destructive.  With my
limited experience with linux, it might actually be easier to change
the distribution.  The ideal distro would have Gimp, Darktable, some
form of monitor calibration software, and some scanning software.
Debian + GNOME which has calibration built-in. That's what I'm using.
AFAIK, KDE still lacks calibration and rely on GNOME component for that
(to be confirmed as I heard that this part was worked on by KDE
people).

Hi Mark,

Mint 18.2 is based on Ubuntu 16.04, this means the core components of the
system are the same. In principle you should be able to use the same
procedure described for Ubuntu to install any software on Mint, Darktable
included. As Ubuntu is in turn base on Debian, you can also use
instructions for the latter (many times you will find instructions for
"Debian based" or ".deb based" distributions). Of course, there are some
programs that have problems because some particularities of each
distribution, but most of the time you'll be fine.

For monitor calibration software you could go with the basic software
included in Gnome, but I would recommend DisplayCal (very powerful,
although a bit overwhelming on first use). For scanning I use XSane (a bit
old but very complete). I'm not aware of any distribution that includes
them by default, but both can be installed easily on Ubuntu-based distros.

Regards,
Guillermo

Assuming that isn't available, I don't see the code necessary to type in
the box for Linux Mint. It may be there, but its highly possible I don't
know that mint is a form of something else and to type that code. Thank
you for your patience for someone so new, and I appreciate the help.

Hi Mark,

I'm on Mint 18.1 Cinnamon which is basically the same so to include
newest darktable and calibration software Guillermo mentioned you go to
a terminal and type:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:pmjdebruijn/darktable-release
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y darktable

for the latest darktable and

sudo apt-get install -y argyll gnome-color-manager dispcalgui

for the calibration tools.
For scanning with my Coolscan 4000 film scanner I use Vuescan

Hope that helps

Ubuntu Studio comes with darktable pre-installed.

Probably all distributions "have" that, you just need to learn how to
install software from the distribution's repositories. You need to learn
that anyway so I think it is easier than reinstalling from scratch.

For any Debian-based distribution you usually just need to "sudo apt
install darktable" to install Darktable. For the rest you just need to
figure out which packages you need to install.

For example:

$ apt-cache search display calibrat
argyll - Color Management System, calibrator and profiler
argyll-dbg - debugging symbols for argyll
argyll-doc - Color Management System, calibrator and profiler (documentation)
argyll-ref - Color Management System, calibrator and profiler (data files)
dicomscope - OFFIS DICOM Viewer
dicomscope-doc - OFFIS DICOM Viewer - documentation
libdicomscope-jni - OFFIS DICOM Viewer (JNI files)
dispcalgui - Graphical user interface for the Argyll CMS.
imagej - Image processing program inspired by NIH Image
jstest-gtk - joystick testing and configuration tool
kgamma5 - monitor calibration panel for KDE
python-pyoptical - python interface to the CRS 'OptiCAL' photometer
r-cran-rocr - GNU R package to prepare and display ROC curves
xcalib - Tiny monitor calibration loader for Xorg

A good candidate appears to be "dispcalgui" which you can install by
running "sudo apt install dispcalgui". Package dependencies
automatically pull in everything you need (argyll, besides others, in
this case).

If you are using KDE then you need to make sure that colord-kde as well as
colord are installed. In Debian colord-kde is still in the experimental
repository, but it's working for me.
