First, you are unlikely to get a Fedora-based reply on this forum. There might be a Fedora user or maybe not.
I use Kubuntu 16.04 & bearing that in mind.
Gimp 2.8.x does not support any form of from-camera-raw format. You will need a plugin. The recommended way, as I understand it, is preferably use the software that comes from the camera (maybe not possible with linux) or an application like RawTherapee or Darktable, save to some other format, open in Gimp
Have to use the (slightly) updated nuFraw as an example. In theory the base application nufraw will open and sent an image to Gimp. AFAIK this fails. Uses a cross-compiled from Windoze plugin that no longer works. screenshot https://i.imgur.com/DxivTt8.jpg
However the gimp plugin does work, https://i.imgur.com/MU9fvdU.jpg but as expected you only get an 8 bit image.
The nufraw page is https://sourceforge.net/projects/nufraw/
Since Gimp on its own does not open the camera-raw, not sure where your experiments with libopenraw come in. However for nufraw that is not listed as a dependency. see: https://i.imgur.com/AjcYp9g.jpg
My advice. If you do not like (n)ufraw. Use Darktable, Save-As-some-format, Open in Gimp
An alternative is possibly the development version Gimp 2.9.x
If you go to https://discuss.pixls.us/t/community-bui...tware/2137 there is a portable, an appimage, that might work with Fedora. That will use (a suitably recent) Darktable / RawTherapee to open straight into Gimp as a 16 image. One file, if it works the benefit is you keep your existing Gimp 2.8.x
It is also a good place to ask your question, https://discuss.pixls.us I think there are Fedora users there.
