I'm an amateur[1] and I use rawtherapee to process my RAW images to JPG, then the gimp to process the JPGs a little.
I've been using Linux since 96, or so, and GIMP is about the only image editor I've ever used.

For family photos the GIMP is perfectly adequate, overkill even, editing on an iPad would give you just as good results. It's only if you need a professional workflow that the Adobe tools would be necessary.
