Shotwell doesn't have the concept of just browsing a folder; you must "import"
And importing without copying the images (because why?!) crashed after a few images on Ubuntu 24.04.

Runs pretty smooth with 60k photos on ubuntu. Also, it was not hard to transfer to new pc.

Decent light-weight photo manager. ONLY PUBLISHES JPEG. (Note: dev team actively avoid user input - you cannot report bugs or feature requests through the git repo.)
You can on the actual git repo, the github one is just a mirror: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/shotwell/-/issues
Fastest photo organizer around. A bit more editing options would be welcomed.
Incredibly fast and light. Easy to use with minimal features.
