I've been using linux for some 15-20 years depending on how you count. The last 3 i've been using PopOs! as a complete windows replacement. Gaming works great (with the usual caveats) and everything has been a pleasant experience. I've never been a gnome fan almost always switching to xfce but on PopOs! its alright! I'm very much looking forward being able to drop Gnome and use Cosmic instead - having thumbnailsupport is going to be an improvement.

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4379 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4379 Do they actually generate a thumbnail or do they just show the available ones? Honestly I don't follow the issue I just know that thumbnails have been an absolute mess in gnome as long as I remember.

    > Do they actually generate a thumbnail or do they just show the available ones? I haven't tested it, but either way the current plan is to replace the GTK file picker with Nautilus in a "file picker" mode. So if it is a problem it should in theory be fixed with that. https://discourse.gnome.org/t/planning-filechooser-portal-implementation-with-nautilus/20335 https://discourse.gnome.org/t/planning-filechooser-portal-im...
