Highlights
Welcome to release v1.99.0
of Immich. This release adds the new logo, fixes many bugs, and improves the application. Some of the highlights include:
- [WEB] Sort photos and videos to display direction in an album.
- On-disk cache on the mobile app to provide a better viewing experience.
- There is a new endpoint for OpenTelemetry metrics to monitor performance.
- Optimized queries for large libraries.
- Add upload progress and speed indicator.
- XMP sidecar file is now recognized with both
photo.ext.xmp
and photo.xmp
extensions.
- Drag to select - Now press your thumb to drag and select in the selection mode.
- Improve user feedback in the mobile app's backup and album selection screen.
- Various improvements for the library scanning process.
Asset's display direction in the album
We added an option to change the order of the assets in the album so you can view the assets from older to newest and vice versa.
album.view.order.mp4
Mobile asset caching
Improving cache for remote thumbnails and the images, they now stay on disk so that they can load faster and give a better experience while used offline. You should feel a faster loading experience across the app.
Performance monitoring with OpenTelemetry integration
Immich provides a variety of performance metrics to allow for local monitoring and insights. This integration is primarily in the form of Prometheus metrics. However, exporting traces is also possible due to OpenTelemetry instrumentation. Please visit the documentation to learn how to enable this feature
Note
This opt-in feature allows you to monitor Immich's performance. This data isn't sent anywhere beyond what you've configured.
File size progress and upload speed indicator
We added an indicator to show the file's size that has been uploaded and the upload speed under the progress bar in the backup screen.

Drag to select
You can now drag to select in the mobile app when in selection mode; this will help make selecting in bulk easier.

And lastly, I want to express my gratitude to @immich-app/contributor who make this behemoth of a release happen π
And as always, bugs are fixed, and many other improvements also come with this release.

Such a decisive question. I wouldn't say there's necessarily a "best". Mint is an EXCELLENT choice. So too would be Fedora (Fedora KDE edition I'd recommend for most) or OpenSuSe Tumbleweed.
Just pick what looks decent to you and give it a shot.
