I am a big fan of darktable. With their sceen referred workflow, I can handle most images in a couple of minutes. Best part is it's free open source software and development is very active.

There is a bit of a learning curve with Darktable. If you use it I would recommend the Bruce Williams Photography YouTube channel. As a newbie, I can recommend starting with his "noobie" series in the current release, Episodes 124-129.

I am a long time user of Darktable. Here is my edit using the Scene Referred Workflow, including the Rotate and Perspective module.

The GIMP is not capable of editing anything more than 8-bit images. Raw photos are higher than that. If you don't want Photoshop/Lightroom, try Affinity Photo 2.0. Not as capable as Camera Raw/Lightroom, but is a perpetual licence, not a subscription, and will edit your raw files.
This is incorrect. The current version of GIMP supports 8, 16 & 32 bit Integer, and 16 & 32 bit Floting Point images.

If you are having trouble with star trails being produced in a too long exposure, I recommend you try the techniques described by Nico Carver on his YouTube channel Nebula Photos. The basic technique is to take a number of photos and, using free or purchased astronomy software, stack them to increase the effective exposure, then "stretch" the stacked image to bring out the details.
The YouTube playlist below shows this in a series of three videos about photographing the Orion Nebula. You can adapt his methodology for star field photos by decreasing the number of photos you take.

I am a big fan of Darktable. There is a learning curve, but the results are great. The relatively new Scene Referred workflow gives me excellent results in very few steps.

I've learned a lot from the YouTube series of tutorials from Davies Media Design. He also has a course on Udemy that will step you through from beginning to end. Check him out on www.daviesmediadesign.com.

What operating system do you use? I can't speak to Apple, but I've never had an issue with Windows or Linux.

I really like Bruce Williams YouTube videos "Understanding Darktable"
I find that the new Scene Referred Workflow has reduced my post processing time significantly.

I use Darktable and Gimp for post processing. Both are excellent.
