Shotwell information
What is Shotwell?
Shotwell is an open source photo organizer designed for the GNOME desktop environment.
Features
Import photos from folders or from any digital camera supported by gPhoto. Shotwell automatically groups photos taken at the same time. You can also use tags and ratings to organize your photo collection. You can rotate, crop, reduce red-eye, and adjust the exposure, saturation, tint, and temperature of each photo. Publish photos and videos to Facebook, Flickr, Picasa Web Albums, and YouTube.
Comments and Reviews
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.
