Raven runs Windows applications on Linux. You install them with their own installers, the same ones you would use on a PC, and they start: no virtual machine, no winetricks, no DLL overrides.

You need several different apps to do the same as Irfanview. Yes, there are several image viewer for Linux, also multimedia viewer, image editors, batch converters, etc., but not all in one like Irfanview. Same for ShareX, there is no other with editor, screenshot, screencast, OCR, of any type of files, uploader customizable and more. The nearest alternative is Greenshot, but also not for Linux, only for Windows and Mac. It is a fact, most soft for Linux exist also for Windows, not the other way arround.
Why would I want an all in one? Wouldn’t I want ones that are the best at what they do, but can hand off functionality to other programs if they excel at it? I just don’t find the case for it compelling at all. From any viewer in linux I can launch others applications or have complex workflows.
As for ShareX: Spectacle (default in KDE) covers the capture end (snips, ocr, edit, etc), and then of course uploading is simple enough with various tools. Automation is easy.
Although I gotta give ShareX some love. I used to use it at work, it was great at the time. Being open source made it even better.
Spectacle is nice but if I haven’t restarted the PC for a few days, it takes about a minute to react to the hotkey
Yes, Spectacle is a screenshot tool, but also not more than this, equivalent of the by default inbuild one in Windows (Snipping Tool, screenshot/cast, annotation…), which do more or less the same. better other tools like Flameshot (Windows, Linux, Mac), etc.but not a real alternative to ShareX.
