About:
Geeqie is a lightweight, fast, and lightweight image viewer for Linux and other Unix-like systems. It is designed for photographers and power users, providing quick previewing of images without the overhead of heavier applications. It supports many image formats and includes features like EXIF/IPTC metadata viewing, image comparison, and extensive keyboard shortcuts.

Key Features:

Fast image loading and navigation
EXIF/IPTC metadata viewing and editing
Image comparison (split view, blink compare)
Extensive keyboard shortcuts and mouse gestures

Use Cases:

Reviewing large collections of RAW or JPEG photos quickly
Comparing similar shots to select the best one
Viewing and editing image metadata (EXIF/IPTC)

Alternatives:

nomacs – Nomacs is a Qt-based image viewer with similar features but a different UI toolkit.
feh – Feh is even more lightweight and scriptable, but lacks built-in metadata management.
gthumb – gThumb offers more cataloging and editing features but is heavier and part of the GNOME ecosystem.
