Fast Linux picture viewer

Does anyone knows a picture viewer, which is faster than ristretto?

Long time ago I used FastPictureViewer on Windows, which is GPU-accelerated. Will this become possible in Linux world?

Does "geeqie" meet your needs? How fast is "fast"? I do know geeqie will pre-load the next image so that it will show up instantly like FastPictureViewer does. ...although I disabled that feature because it's fast enough without it.

"viewnior" does all I need. It's simple and lightweight.

sxiv is tiny, not sure if it's fast enough for you.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … ge_viewers mentions some OpenGL-based viewers.

Thanks,
geeqie is much faster.

The OpenGL viewer galapix cant be compiled due to boost incompatibility

galapix-git works.
Please post the error on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/galapix/ You can suggest a fix, post a patch too.

feh is also fast and additionally can be used as a background setter, too.

Re: Fast Linux picture viewer

Guys, all these viewers are mentioned in the wiki, I suggested one that's said to be OpenGL-based, maybe it's hw-accelerated, as OP wanted.

drcouzelis asked an important question that still has no answer, so lets wait for it.
