Switched to Linux on the desktop - astro software choices?

Hi all,

I've finally put together my first linux pc. amd 5950x and a 6900xt running the latest xubuntu (needed that to get the amd 6xxx series gpu support - originally went for Zorin os but it was using an older kernel).

Just wondering if anyone had any useful linux software i could check out for editing (deep sky and planetary).

I had been using, DSS / CS6, registax, registar, autostakkert predominantly for my uses.

I'm assuming the go is deep sky - pixinsight and GIMP (replace DSS/CS6) - not looking so much for the learning curve on pixinsight but it was on the list to do - i've got a license).

Planetary? i guess Autostakkert with wine? according to the website
- AutoStakkert! is Windows only software. However, it does run fine using Wine under both Linux and macOS. As of yet there are no plans to make native versions for either of these operating systems.

Havent got my head around how to launch Wine just yet - install autostakkert thru lutris?

I have also set up a windows to go usb but only want to use that as sparingly as possible.

Thanks!

Russ
