From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Dedicated noise reduction software like Topaz and DxO rely on the GPU. And because of that, they don't work on Wine or VMs (unless you have a dedicated GPU and can get GPU passthrough functioning).
I use darktable and digikam for every other step of my workflow, but that one step, I just can't do with Linux
Thank you for making me understand :)
Never heard of DxO or topaz, but I am also no photographer, so it doesn't really surprise me. I wonder if something like proton could be used to easily make give you gpu support.
I had high hopes that I could make them work that way, but no luck :\
About upscayl u maybe heard https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl
and denoise https://github.com/royerlab/aydin
Upscayl isn't much use to me, because I don't need upscaling, only noise reduction.
Aydin appears to only work on PNG files, not my RAW files
