What good software is available for editing RAW photo files?

Question

I have a DSLR (Canon 550D) and since I'm taking my first steps in the world of RAW photography I don't know which would be a good program to use to edit these files. I've tried digiKam and GIMP but wasn't satisfied. I'm sure there must be better software out there...

Have a look at Darktable. It's an excellent RAW editor. To install Darktable in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install darktable

I like rawtherapee. You may want to give it a shot. There is also UFRaw, but I personally don't like it as much.

In terminal:

sudo apt-get install rawtherapee

and

sudo apt-get install ufraw

respectively.
