You answered your own question. I spent years playing the game of "This image is a JPEG. Will the website force me to save it in a format that can't be opened by the basic Windows photo viewer, or will it actually be a JPEG when I download it?"
You'd be surprised how often it would turn out to be the former rather than the latter.
Windows photo viewer sucks, that’s your problem
Nomacs is a better alternative. Not perfect, but FOSS and faster than windows https://nomacs.org/
most people don't want to install thirp party stuff for basic stuff that the system comes with
I thought most people replaced every part of Windows with something better, because none of it was very good.
Then you will never be a power user
Can’t go far with the defaults, on everything
Most people don't want to be power users.
That’s why Lemmy will probably never be big
