Windows Photos is having a hard time despite my strong specs. Any alternative to use aside from browsers?

I've tried most alternatives for Windows, and the best I've found is Nomacs[1]. It's very fast and customizable.

1.) https://nomacs.org

nomacs is a free, open source image viewer, which supports multiple platforms. You can use it for viewing all common image formats including RAW and psd images.

Irfanview seems to handle it decently well

This makes me lose my shit every time I want to see a simple jpg image in Windows 10. WHY?? Even my 14 year old linux laptop can open 100+ MB images faster than W10.

Viewnior barely breaks a sweat on my (powerful by 2014 standards) machine

    %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT TIME COMMAND
     2.8  1.6 823764 277528 pts/6   Sl+  0:06 viewnior updated mosaic.png

That's about 804 megabytes allocated, 271 megabytes resident. Took about 2 seconds to read and render the file.

Components of the OS are 20+ years old, it seems. The image handler is one of them. Simply right clicking on it takes 12 seconds for the menu to pop up.

Anyone knows of a GPU accelerated Linux image viewer?

GLiv [1]. Firefox and GLiv both take ~5 seconds to load the image for me, although whilst Firefox takes another ~5 seconds to re-render after zooming in to 100 %, GLiv is instant.
