   I haven't looked at Wine for ages, but always understood (wrongly?) that   
   it could leave you open to Windows malware. IrfanView was so good that   
   it was the first free software I donated to. I now use XnViewMP instead.   
   It's not bad, although recent updates failed to install because of a   
   requirement for a later version of libglig than Mint had. I eventually   
   got round the problem by running:   
   sudo dpkg -i --force-all XnViewMP-linux-x64.deb
