| org.telegram.desktop "Shame it uses flatpak, which automatically knocks off a star, but everything else is good. For some things, I prefer the way discord does it, but overall this is the more competent app." |

| com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate "Not sure why everyone likes it so much. It claims to support PDFs, but it will only show the 2-column layout, not a scroll-style I would've expected, even after changing the relevant settings. The zoom does nothing, except making the text sharper... somehow. And it lacks the same support I've been missing for other readers, though that's more on me, because I'm apparently the only person who would want this. But I was hoping to get file switching arrow key usage. As in, the ability to open a folder, rather than a single file, and scroll through the different PDFs/e-books/CBZs. No reader does this. And last and most certainly most niche, I want one of these to support tiff files. Considering it supports CBZs, this isn't *that* unreasonable. But alas, so far it seems only Windows Photo Viewer comes even close to any of this." |

| telegram-desktop "over a year and a half out of date. just remove the system package version than you imbiciles! THIS IS WHAT I HATE ABOUT LINUX! It's just *not* organised at all. Why keep that version? Update it or force people to move dammit! USELESS" |

| firefox "It won't tell you when it needs to be restarted after an update or when an update is available. It will just stop working, telling you you don't have internet. Otherwise, it's the firefox you know and love." |

| nomacs "Just as good as and often even faster than other image viewers. Even has gif support, which I was missing. Sadly, even this one hasn't figured out how to handle multipage files. Left and right arrows for previous and next files, up and down arrows or page up and page down keys for previous pages (preferably configurable) seems obvious to me, but I guess I'm in a very small niche with my tiffs. Who needs to zoom so often? Why is that always on the arrow keys?" |

| org.nomacs.ImageLounge "Seems like a perfectly capable image viewer. I feel like it would take me a little while to get used to, but you get a bit more functionality that usual. Where it falls apart is multipage tiffs. It does not handle them well at all. Sometimes, pressing an arrow key will take you to the next page of the tiff, but other times it goes to the next tiff file. And I don't really understand how it decides what to do when. Multipage tiffs are so poorly supported overall though that I can't judge this app too harshly for not handling them. I just wish I could find something that did. update: it seems to work better now, but it's still missing a dedicated key (or modifier, like shift or ctrl) to go to the next file, skipping the remaining images in the currently viewed file." |

| org.photoqt.PhotoQt "Can't read multipage image files, but worse than that it's missing basic functionality. You can't use arrow keys to go between images, even though there are UI element to do so. What kind of image viewer has no functionality on the arrow keys?!" |

| gnome-screenshot "No longer able to select type of screenshot. It just grabs everything, all screens. Does not remember last save location either. Hell, the image you see on this page is a lie!" |

| speedtest-cli "It does exactly what you want when it works. However, during updates, I was getting errors saying that the repository does not have a release file, preventing the update. Annoyingly, I've now uninstalled it, but I'm still getting that error, which prevents me from upgrading to a new Mint version." |

| mcomix "Works well, has a clean and clear UI and seems pretty user friendly. Unfortunately, I would like to use it for multipage tiff files, which it does not support." |
