I have an issue with my image viewer where the only real solution is converting all webp files to another format like png or jpg. I have probably a couple hundred of these in total and would like to have an easy way to convert all webp files to png/jpg without having to do it one by one through gimp. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this?

You could use an adobe lightroom alternative such as darktable or rawtherapee. Otherwise, you can use a CLI utility called image magick (the command being magick or mogrify depending on what you are trying to achieve).
I assume you are using linux mint
sudo apt install imagemagick
mogrify -format png *.webp

Keep in mind that *.webp performs a shell expansion.
Say you have three files
it will expand to
mogrify -format png file1.webp file2.wepb file3.wepb
The problem is that there is a limit to how many files you can enter this way. Say, if you have a thousand files, this won't work. If you have a thousand files you actually need to iterate over each one of them one by one.

i used mogrify -format png *.webp && rm *.webp to convert and remove all webp images
