Edit: Still garbage, required 100-lines script and LD_* shim to make it even run at Linux Mint 22.3 on AMD CPU + GPU. UX is even worse than Darktable, don't bother, not even close to Lightroom.
At this point we need a Kickstarter campaign to make Lightroom run in Wine/Proton (no, no matter how much you try, it will not work so far). Edit: or GSOC to support Darktable to improve their UX.
I think it actually released today. I keep an eye on the forums to see the updates - https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2369...
(Can confirm - I just opened it on my laptop (I had the latest beta installed) and it prompted me to download the release version)
The Lightroom competitor would be a big (and welcome) change to the market if it delivers.
The Lightroom competitor working on Linux is a huge news.
(Darktable doesn't count, it's a scientific software with some wobbly UI).

The Darktable hate is real. I guess scene-referred workflows (vs display-referred popularized by Lightroom) are too difficult for most people to grok.
