Claude Code managed to get Adobe Lightroom working on Linux

The title fooled me for a second: this is about Lightroom CC not Lightroom Classic which is what I think most photographers mean when they say "Lightroom".
Still impressive but nowhere near as gamechanging. Lightroom is basically the last piece of softwere where I cannot have it in Linux so I need to have a Windows/MacOS machine somewhere.
Just a matter of time - if this approach worked once, it will be used against other software as well. I'm not sure about the colour management, but it's a premature issue at this point.
I switched over to Darktable over a decade ago as I didn’t want to have to deal with Adobe or this sort of issue ever. I was impressed with the tools it gave me—especially the non-destructive healing + wavelet decompose touch up models which used to require a raster graphics editor (which Lightroom didn’t have at least at the time I last used it). If you aren’t like a professional photographer (& even if you are), I’m not sure why you would bother when you could use Darktable or Digikam from the open source world as they follow all the typical RAW libraries & get new camera support up pretty quickly.
