Can FreeBsd view images, multimedia?

I decided to move from an avid Windows user to slowly move on to studying linux administration, I started to master FreeBsd, installed several utilities for the network, samba, and threw a picture through the ball and here is a miracle of nature, I can’t open a picture in freebsd, tell me if there is an opportunity to work in this OS with multimedia? if yes, what ports to install?
Thank you all in advance.

You would start learning Linux administration from MacOS) If the goal is Linux, take it on.
On the merits of the question: the possibility, of course, is there. what exactly doesn't work? how do you open the picture? What is your DE (KDE, GNOME, xfce...)?

It seems to me that entering the world of Linux through FreeBsd is somewhat different.

It's like a holiday!
FreeBSD is not linux (unless, of course, Debian/kFreeBSD was meant :)). This is a server rooma version of UNIX that was never specifically intended for desktops by anyone. Yes, it has its own "bobbins" - DesktopBSD, PC-BSD and others, but these are all feeble projects led by a small group, or even one person. As a person who has worked with FreeBSD for 13 years (and I had it as a desktop and as a server - and not the only server) I will say - FreeBSD and desktop are not exactly different, but at least perpendicular to each other things. Team doesn't really care about the desktop, as a rule, all purely desktop problems (how to watch a movie, how to run a game, how to connect a scanner-printer-tuner-horns) have to be solved by oneself - even such a not very complicated thing as IPTV on FreeBSD is achieved by an unthinkable dance with a beating of a huge shaman's tambourine.
If you want "friendliness" - take a bubuntu, as a former winder, you won't have to relearn much.
If you want a corporate distribution - take centos
If you have already decided whether you like systemd or not, and found out that you don’t - gentoo, arch, devuan,
LFS that the BSD user encounters simply don't exist on Linux) - for the most part multimedia in UNIX is based on two pillars - xine and mplayer.

In theory, the desktop should pick up the default application and open
