If using Fuji or Sony, there is Capture One Express, which is a basic RAW transformer, catalogue and the ability to do some basic editing. For a hobbyist it's pretty good - and free!

I switched from Lightroom subscriptionware to Capture One payment with one included update. Catalogue with 90k pictures, performance might be a tad slower than LR on my iMac 2017 but so far I am happy with the software when it comes to workflow of importing new photos.

Will never go back to Adobe's ransomware/subscriptions again. Just a happy amateur and in periods it could pass weeks/months between starting up the software.

Although, I do miss photoshop a bit but Gimp does the job "good enough" for me.

I switched to Exposure X5. It's super fast compared to Lightroom and handles large catalogues with ease. Editing is not nearly as nice and it has some weird quirks around UI. I also liked Capture One.
