My university is kicking me off their free creative cloud by the end of the summer. What are the best Lightroom alternatives?

Gosh, I wish I could wrap my head around it. I just can't get results everytime I try to use it.

I don't have experience with darktable, but moving from Photoshop to Gimp, from InDesign to Scribus, and from Illustrator to Inkscape definitely tool me some time to transition and learn. I'd think that would be the same going from Lightroom to DarkTable. However, once you have invested in the new software, chances that you need to change again ik the future because of shitty expensive subscription models is slim. So I think it is worth putting in the effort.

I watched how-to videos about it and read their blog.

It's definitely complicated. I used it for a couple of years and only now feel like I'm slowly getting the hang of it.
