For those that do whats your favorite image viewer?

i use arch btw

Also gwenview is nice.

I don't really save images that often, I'm not actually sure if I even have an image viewer installed. If necessary I just open it in a web browser.

Uhh... it's just called "Image Viewer", it's stock with Ubuntu.

You know, i always wondered if This Guy did. Sadly they don't use forums often, might never see this.

Viewnior is my system default image viewer, and I use feh from the command line to quickly preview files.

They're both pretty nice.

sxiv with patches (eg. brightness control, tiling, silhouetting and other alpha manipulation options) and a fair bit of configuration (eg. display image tags in statusbar). I would recommend nsxiv over sxiv to a new user though as it's actively maintained and supports animated webp.

I guess the most notable aspect of [n]sxiv is its usability as a CLI image filter (pipe in a list of images, select what you want, get only those filenames output) and the ease of adding custom commands via the 'key-handler' script.

Personally I think there are broadly two categories, 'quick use' (sxiv, feh, ..) and 'organizer' (gwenview, geeqie, digikam, ..)

feh

I use the default Eye of Mate (eom). I wouldn't call it a favorite but it gets the job done.

I use Eye of GNOME. I use Cinnamon. I use Arch, by the way.

Arch + Cinnamon is just <3

Neat! I've been meaning to find something like this for a while.

Similar to catimg, lsix can render at much higher res in sixel-compatible terminal emulators. Sadly my Konsole is like 1 version too old, whichever version shipped in Plasma 5.24.1 was the first to have it.

I vouch for that.

sxiv is all I need. Only downside is that it can be a flashbang at night when going fullscreen.

CentOS + firefox. If you're going to have a big ol' web browser, you might as well get some use of it.

I use TauOS :D

Hmm, I wonder if the mascots mean that Linuxes are using furs. ;)

You mean, not everyone is using UwUntu?

Hmm demons can both be and not be not_furry tag, right? Depending on the stereotypical features.

I always use the standard image viewer.
In Manjaro Linux with XFCE, that's Viewnior

I use Lubuntu simply because I'm used to it from resurrecting old computers. Now I have a relatively powerful Linux server.

I mostly use nomacs and it works just fine

Tried linux mint, and now I'm using xubuntu on my potato laptop.

Lucky me got a laptop with bad driver issues. No bluetooth, no wifi initially, no sound control but still has sound... I'm kind of regretting trying linux in this machine ;w;

Can't wait for some normie to pass-by, see this comment then screenshot it just for a gotcha. Linux has this reputation for hardware incompatibilities and whenever you see an argument between a linux user and a windows user it always boils down to this. Try to ask about this on an unix forum, you must be missing some drivers or mst have some settings wrong somewhere. My computer isnt too strong either, but it can handle it just fine.

Oh yeah definitively missing drivers, and probably some other bios setting I'm too lazy to look up XP
