The biggest fucking image (almost) that I have ever encountered
is located here:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6d/The_Garden_of_Earthly_Delights_by_Bosch_High_Resolution.jpg

It measures 30,000 X 17,000 pixels.  Holy fuck!

But on my GNU/Linux system, every image viewer that I've tried
(GIMP, xzgv, geeqie) was able to quickly load and display this
gigantic image without problem.

I have posted a very small detail here:

https://i.postimg.cc/jCVybxYG/cut.png

Yeah.  It's fucking cracked.  What the fuck do you expect?
It was painted on wood with oils about 600 years ago.

But I wonder how Microslop Winblows would fare.  I would bet
that junk system would choke, crash, and burn.  After all,
that's what it does best.

Brother, if you ain't using GNU/Linux then please check your
head for cracks.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
