Unless you are a totally subjugated distro lackey, you likely
already use the great FOSS image viewer Geeqie:
But I am so terribly sorry. The fantastic and unparalleled Geeqie
is NOT available for that piece-of-shit OS known as Microslop
Winblows.
Like ALL great software, Geeqie is Unix/Linux/BSD only.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

I installed it, it looks a bit clunky, actually. What are you
suggesting I use it for?

No doubt about that.

It is NEITHER. You have to delude yourself to even use that slopware,
let alone claim it's 'fantastic'.
Unfortunately, the untalented hobby developers also claim their crapware
is "the best image viewer / photo collection browser".

I clicked over to Ubuntu WSL and installed Geeqie. Running it now.
It's crap. It looks like crap. It has crap menus. It has a crap
toolbar. The options are pitiful. It has no Help. No FAQ. The 'user
manual' is a joke. on and on and on.
It's just barebones junk - the furthest thing from a professional
application.

GuhNoo/Linux hobbyware can't compete.
As is PROVEN once again, the absolute worst developers in the world work
in the low/unpaid GuhNoo crapware universe, and irfanview vs geeqie is
more evidence that in a world where Windows exists, there's no reason to
use Linux.

Load up GIMP, and if you can’t remember which key to press, go to the
actual GUI “Help” menu and make a selection from there.

They basically went out of their way to retire it. Do they also consider
Usenet to be dead?

He's been doing this schtick for years: promote mediocre or even
horrible GuhNoo crapware and claim it's the best in the world, and it's
not available on Windows, and it's all he uses, and if you're not using
it you're stupid, blah blah
Surely Linux has much better image viewers than geeqie.

Xviewer is the default with Mint, it works fine for basic opening of
an image, I dunno what all Larry was insinuating would be done with
his brokenware.

Omage Viewer appears to be the Ubuntu default, Gwenview of the Fedora KDE

It looks like it's been "retired." Apparently whoever was maintaining it for
Fedora gave up on it. But you can still download the version for Fedora 38.
I'm guessing it would work in Fedora 40. Can't say for sure, I don't know
that much about Fedora.

Well, scratch that. I tried Pan on Fedora 39 and it failed to install. I
guess that's one issue with a "cutting edge" distribution that's not as
accute when using a long term (stable) distribution.

On Fedora 40 'sudo dnf install pan' pleads ignorance about pan. I think
you can install SABnzbd but the NZB stuff is of no interest to me. It's
not the machine I do usenet on but I do have slrn set up as a backup.
I liked KNode but that's history also.

Trying to build in on my KDE spin would probably be painful since it's a
Gtk app. It does show recent commits so it's not abandoned.

Red Hat is the main company in the Linux community insisting that everything
has to change in order to make Linux "modern." Systemd was from them, and
they also have a hand in Wayland, and usrmerge was their idea. They also have
radical ideas that haven't been forced on the entire Linux community (yet),
such as read-only rootfs, and image-based updates.
They always export their radical ideas to all other distros, and if this
extends to small details like the availability of newsreaders, I'd expect
to see them vanish from Debian and other distros before too long.

If the purpose is only to look at an image, feh is great. It's really
fast. When I need to use Gimp, I can see how Gimp is very slow to launch
compared with feh.

They should start by providing up to date distros instead of obsolete by
design distros. Then I could start considering this claim seriously.

Their radical ideas haven't been forced on the entire Linux community.
For a start, when Poettering came with the idea of systemd, Red Hat, his
employer at the time told him it was bad. And so Poettering did it on
his own time and came back to his employer with the working product. And
only at this time did Red Hat decided to use it. And the other distros
decided to use it because it was good. Ubuntu tried to remove SysVInit
with upstart and were happy to switch to systemd when it was possible.
For the archlinux community, the reasons are listed there:
<https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/4lzxs3/comment/d3rhxlc/?context=3>
It was not imposed by Read Hat it was a welcome change.
So stop believing the crap displayed by FR/DG/NV/LP/whatever and learn
what you are talking. Systemd wasn't a Red Hat idea and systemd wasn't
forced on any distro, it was happily embraced by the distros.
> They always export their radical ideas to all other distros,
Nonsense. They never imposed anything. Other embraced their ideas or not
but there is no imposition.

Nonsense. Once again. There is no relation between a radical idea and
the availability of a newsreader in the list of packages. If there is no
more use for a package, nobody will want to take care of it and it will
be removed. It's just that simple. And as usenet is a dying media, there
will be less and less use for a newsreader. There is no such thing as
Red Hat telling other distros which packages they must manage and which
one they shouldn't.
