Looking for an open-source alternative for image viewing so I can get rid of the AI‑embedded Windows Photos. I did some research and I’m trying IrfanView, but it needs separate plugins for AVIF, WebP, etc. Nomacs’ last update was 2020. I’m going to try ImageGlass and XnView, but I wonder if there is some software that’s more widely recommended - like VLC, but for images.
Irfanview is the best without a doubt, even if it is only freeware, works also on Linux with Wine. XnView is good but freemium proprietary soft.
Good FOSS Alternatives are
GwenView and PicView, both with inbuild editors.
