It is a little annoying that you have to type q twice to close first the image and then w3m. Also note that even though I read multiple places that w3m inline images would not work for gnome-terminal, it is working fine for me. Note that if the image is to big to fit the terminal window, it will still be opened externally (in imagemagick for me). w3m will use the entire terminal window, so you cannot see your previous commands until quitting w3m (think less, not cat). Now, typing w3m will display the image in terminal. You then need to disable the external image viewer wither by passing -o ext_image_viewer=0 or by going into the options menu ('o') inside w3m and disable external image viewing.

The relevant packages to install are w3m and w3m-img (on Ubuntu at least). While the main purpose of w3m is to provide in-console web browsing, it can also be used to view images in terminal. Kitty also enables image previews within ranger (a terminal file manager), which is the method I currently use the most often (works within tmux). The all around terrific terminal emulator kitty has an icat command to display images (does not work within tmux). It also has a fallback mode to display blocky ascii images. Viu is an image viewer that can display images using either the kitty, iterm, or libsixel approach.
