That‘s what I use on Windows machines as well. I have to admit that I don’t care too much about duplicates as long as it’s not Gigabytes of dupes. There is software that might help with getting rid of duplicates (see Excire), the question is how much time it would take and how many TB of storage I could buy with the time lost. Outside of that: if images are meaningful to you, think about printing them out. It’s a different way of remembering the images and a printed out version feels different than digital. You don’t even have to hang them but touch them and go through them once in a while (I tend to not look through digital images ever after „archiving“ them). Good luck and don’t give up. It’s ugly for the first time but if you control the influx of new images in a meaningful way it‘ll get easier.
