Sure! There're actually a couple of things I like:
- It's actually one of the few apps that still work like a traditional photo management app: It works on the base of a file-based library that has synchronization added on top. This enables me to freely move my library around, easily create backups of it or even reverse-engineer it. I'm aware there are brilliant foss apps like DigiKam (KDE/Linux) but they lack other aspects like synchronization and are not as tightly integrated.
- I'm still able to be somewhat independent on Apple: Since the library is file-based and I can extract my images using either my own tool or one of the tools available on GitHub, I can easily migrate away from apple should they start doing fishy things.
- Privacy-wise Apple seems to be one of the better options: Metadata like face recognition are computed locally on-device. I know there are more privacy oriented options like Ente, but their feature-set is not quite as mature as I need it.
- I just really like the apps: They're well-integrated, easy to use and I like the editing capabilities. I also like the way they handle edited photos etc.
Organization-wise there's nothing special. The only thing I do is to organize my images into albums.
To sum it up: It's highly subjective but for my workflow it's a good mix of autonomy and still good user experience.
Umsteigerfreundlich nicht, aber umsteigerfreundlicher als vor einigen Jahren. Und besser als Windows allemal.
Wenn man einfach planlos irgendwelche Zeilen hin und her kopiert, dann sitzt das Problem allerdings vor dem Rechner und heißt nicht Linux ;-)
Linux ist ein grundlegend anderes Betriebssystem als Windows, natürlich gibt es da eine extrem steile Lernkurve.
Linux ist aber für den Anwender mindestens genau so intuitiv zu bedienen wie Windows. Die Administration übernimmt in Organisationen dann eine IT. Im privaten Umfeld muss ich mir die Erfahrung, die ich bei Windows über lange Jahre aufgebaut habe, aber natürlich erstmal aneignen - und das geht selbstverständlich nicht von heute auf morgen.
