Cutting ties with Adobe (lemmy.world)

I currently have an Adobe CC subscription that I would really like to end, so am looking for some advice or recommendations. I have been searching around but am struggling to find alternatives due to some fairly strict requirements.

What I am looking for is a Lightroom style app for Linux and Android that would sync to the cloud, or ideally sync to my personal cloud storage. I'm happy to pay a one off lifetime payment but would prefer to donate to a FOSS project if possible.

I have started to play around with Darktable and do know that you can use remote storage but the syncing seems a little clunky.

Any suggestions at all will be very much appreciated.

Piracy is always an option, you know. I've been using Photoshop since 2002, and not once have I needed to pay a subscription fee. They already got my money once in 2002; not going to keep paying them for something I already bought.

It's no good for Linux though

You bought a specific version of a product, not a permanent license for all future releases. Not that I'm against piracy, but your argument is flawed.
