I installed Windows 11 on my new office PC yesterday, and it took hours.

  • The initial boot took forever because it decided it needed to do an update as part of the install,
  • Then after install when you enter your Microsoft account details so it downloads the entire internet including OneDrive (gross),
  • Then you switch to AU locale because despite saying I'm in Australia during install it's set me up as US language and currency and imperial measurements etc but Melbourne timezone (also incorrect),
  • Then you uninstall and disable all the stupid Candy Crush and celebrity news (in the start menu?? why??) and LinkedIn and Xbox gaming crap and all this other stuff that just appears,
  • Allocate another day to uninstall all the MS Office stuff I don't want (especially OneDrive),
  • Then you can install Firefox and Thunderbird and Nextcloud and Libre Office and Irfanview and accounting software,
  • And finally everything starts syncing and away we go time to be productive...
  • Jokes! Critical update and it's time to reboot multiple times.

I can boot from a Ventoy USB and have a new distro installed and working on my laptop in under an hour ffs.

Irfanview is definitely one of the image viewers of all time.

When I moved away from Windows one of the things I missed was the super lightweight image viewer from the XP and 7 days (even on Windows 10 I used to still copy the exe over from a backup because it was way better than the bloated shitty Photos app, or whatever Microsoft was trying to push)

I really wanted a replacement image viewer that was minimalistic, lightweight, and supported deleting images with a keystroke from the viewer - a feature absolutely essential as I like to arrow-key back and forth through photos and trim the fat, a feature many viewers somehow don't support.

After trying out just about every option there was, my favourite has ended up being qView.

It's FOSS, cross platform (Linux, macos, Windows) and pleasantly fast.

I've been using it for... god, feels like centuries at this point. Nothing else will do.

It also has an awesome compression if you resave oversized iphone photos for quick 'net sharing

XnView is quite feature-complete for my needs, but it's constantly trying to phone home to Google, so better run it in a sandbox.
Geeqie is better in several ways - e.g. it supports avif and jxl - but it's missing some features I've come to like.
I've yet to try qView.

Qview is very light on features, so if you like featureful it probably isn't for you :)

XnView is what I currently use as a Temu Irfanview on Linux. But it's so awkward compared to Irfanview - everything seems to involve clicks or loading galleries or choosing templates every time. Irfanview does everything I want within a button press or two, and being able to just loop through directories with the mouse wheel is awesome.
