I am using manjaro lxde linux fully rolling release distribution of linux.
Messing around with some options
Although I mainly use Kubuntu 16.04 at the moment, my desktop computer has PClinuxOS KDE installed. That is also a rolling distro and (loosely) based on Mandriva, maybe just a little closer to Arch/Manjaro than 'buntu. Might be snags with lxde DE.
Some options for 16 bit.
1. Krita
This did open a panasonic filename.rw2 file but I had to rename it to filename.raw
There is the option to make some adjustments but the interface is 'nasty' Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/TCgPCaP.jpg
It did open as 16 bit. Depending on version of krita you might get an old gmic (1.7-ish) or this Krita 3.2.2 and gmic 2.1 Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/lylYr90.jpg
There is a 3.2.2 appimage download from the Krita site that might be worth a try.
2. Gimp
You could try the development version Gimp 2.9.7 as a portable linux 'appimage'
This one might (stress might) work
https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-app...4.AppImage (big download 180 MB -ish)
Make it executable, run it from your home partition.
If it does work, it already has the nufraw plugin installed which will open as 16 bit when enabled. https://i.imgur.com/xvXB720.jpg
What it does not support is gimp_gmic but after a bit of tweaking there is always the option to export as a 16 bit tiff. https://i.imgur.com/UKzEEyR.jpg
3. RawTherapee
The more obvious solution, Open your raw files, do as much colour correction as required, then save as a 16 bit tiff.
Krita will open that, regular Gimp 2.8 will open as an 8 bit.
