I save my iPhone photos to my linux desktop. The default image viewing software in the Gnome 3 window manager can display HEIC images. Conversions on the command line are simple enough with imagemagick. Prior to conversion, I use exiftool to rename the files from IMG_0123.HEIC to the date the image or video was taken, followed by a truncated sha256 digest of the file, e.g. 2025-12-22-1732-f8b7302.HEIC. Otherwise, you can get a nasty condition where the IMG_XXXX filenames collide when consolidated into the same directory.
