libvips VS Onion

After some research, I found libvips, a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing library. It is designed to run quickly while using as little as memory as possible.

Sharp is a fast and efficient image optimization Node.js module that makes use of the native libvips library.

h2non/bimg can handle both if the underlying libvips is compiled with support for both formats.

if you're using linux (which it doesn't seem so) there's also vispdisp https://github.com/jcupitt/vipsdisp which is based on https://github.com/libvips/libvips which will likely take over how images are decoded in the future for everything, at least methodology wise.

The magic happens by way of a library called Libvips, which contains an ultra-high-speed low-memory image resizer.

imagor uses one of the most efficient image processing library libvips. It is typically 4-8x faster than using the quickest ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick settings.

Try the solutions here: https://github.com/libvips/libvips/issues/2479

in that case maybe take a look at https://github.com/libvips/libvips

libvips v8.6+ or ImageMagick for image analysis and transformations

I've also recently fallen into (reading/watching about) it, and from what I've seen, some of them have really impressive levels of community software support

e.g. https://onionui.github.io

OnionOS is your best choice. It's as simple as dropping the files onto your SD card. Then, moving your game files to their respective folders. Here is a video guide. Here is the official page with download and any information you would need. If you're still using the stock card, I'd highly recommend getting a better quality one so that you don't lose all your data again.

Download Onion OS to your computer. Onion OS is available from the link below: https://onionui.github.io/

Update PixelReader to v0.6 by @Aemiii91 in #1208

(Please note that I am using Onion OS V4.2.0-RC, if you are using other version, it may not work.

I followed the instructions from here and used the specialized software. It's a Samsung Pro Evo SD card bought in an official store and the reduction is completely reversible by using the Windows formatter. I don't really mind that much, but am wondering if I didn't noob myself out of twice as much space!
