gImageReader (gimagereader-qt) in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own gimagereader-qt package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so gImageReader (gimagereader-qt) should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. On Samsung DeX, Floating mode opens it as its own window beside your Android apps, and Desktop mode runs it on a full Linux desktop.

Breadstick draws in software rather than on the GPU, so painting, photo editing and diagrams are fine, while 3D modeling and rendering are slow. More about graphics apps in Breadstick.
