If you didn't happen to see it, this is from knighthack's comment above:

"To top it off, IrfanView works beautifully on my Linux via Wine, and also on my Mac M1/M2 machines (and as a tool quicker than even Mac's own Preview). It's a primary install for me, whichever any platform I'm working on; and a software that's truly a gift to the world."

I used Gwenview back in the days in Linux. I think it's still great.
