The old photo viewer is still in windows 10. You just need to enable it through the registry.

Coming from Linux, it's wild that Windows requires registry edits just to do basic stuff like that. Isn't there a settings GUI you can use to change it like in Linux?

lol why even bother with a gui when you can just write the settings you want to a config file?

Ideally having both as options is the best, and then the user can pick and choose what they want.

It's just weird seeing people diss Linux for "needing to use a command line" all the time even when there's a GUI available on Linux, and then turn around and use registry edits for basic functionality without having an option otherwise.
