There should be an automated GUI way of doing it. Similar to navigating to an exe file in windows. Except in will be called setup or install. Can you see and browse the CD in your Linux file navigator?Maybe a Linux user here can help: I bought a USB WiFi adapter for use with the PC I recently converted from Windows 10 to Rocky Linux 8.10. The USB WiFi adapter came with a CD which contains drivers for Mac, Windows, and Linux -- including instructions for how to install the driver for Mac & Windows. But there are no instruction about how to install the driver for Linux. When I put the CD in the CD drive attached to the Linux machine, I can see the directories that contain the Linux driver (in a ZIP file). But I have no idea how to install the Linux driver from the CD (I've never installed anything from a CD under Linux before.) Newb-compatible assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
At least I do see a readme.txt file, and some PDF files.Thanks! When I unzip the file that's on the installer CD, I get a huge list of items (too much text to post here). Below is a partial list, hopefully the most relevant items? ... I don't know what to do next ...
I am not sure if I shall recommend this… to me it looks like the driver is from 2017. At least the directory names contain this timestamp.Thanks!

It is indeed. I've found that to try and learn how to best use it, you have to pretty much forget everything you've learned from other editing/raw conversion software. Everything I watch and read says to use the scene referred modules, as apparently that's where the developers are directing their efforts. And also the push seems to be towards filmic, rather than the Sigmoid style.The elephants in the room: Darktable is not a 1:1 Lightroom or C1 replacement. DT is a solid program, but works very different. The tools are more technical, and since 3.x is used a scene based workflow by default which has to my knowledge a complete different workflow then LR, C1 or Affinity. After getting familiar with it, it’s nice. Especially using Filmic as default tool.
If you want a more LR related experience it shall be switched to display oriented workflow!
