Holy shit. I saw this when it first got posted and saved it thinking maybe there’d be some nice discussion on it by the time I got some sleep.
Nope, it’s just some fanboy screaming KDE IS BETTER through the whole topic.
jfc.
If there’s one thing you can count on within Reddit/Lemmy Linux communities, it’s a certain subset of KDE Plasma users who get immensely triggered about Gnome, and feel the need to broadcast that hatred to the world.
I can’t imagine caring so much about the software that somebody else uses on their computer. I just don’t understand it.
I personally think tiling window managers are irritating to use, but I’m not going to take time out of my day to moan about them, call them crap, and even go onto tiling window manager communities and call their projects shit.
Herd mentality showing its ugly face!
When there is legit 3 comment chains, 2/3 is going to look like a fan boy lol.
Just give the people working thumbnails.
The file chooser has had thumbnails for like a year now.
Yes, when it’s just you ranting about how much better KDE is.
They have thumbnails btw
That’s cool. It’s still a bloated ass DE with a candy wrapper. Has been for 20 years. 👍
GNOME still feels like it did in '99 to me, but again, I don’t really care what you do either way.
I commented on a guy asking for thumbnails, which after 25 years, you would think they’d have that figured out by now…
With thumbnails?? ( °o°)

But I bet we still won’t get working thumbnails
We already do, though.
Fedora 39. Downland an image and then look at it in picker and there’s no thumbnail. The picker won’t generate thumbnails.
Ah, I know what you mean.
Yeah, the way it works now I think the file picker relies on Nautilus to generate the thumbnail first, so any new images will use a placeholder instead. Once you’ve viewed the file in Nautilus once, though, the thumbnail will show up in the picker from then on.
Yep which when downloading from one place to then upload to another place is not part of the process
Here’s hoping this gets fixed, it’s annoying and stupid
A big complaint for KDE is “the setup” but honestly all of the people in here are defending the worse of the 2 lol.
If thumbnails aren’t natively turned on and GOOD, it’s far worse.
Depends on your use case, I suppose. I’m generally editing existing images and files, so I had practically forgotten that the picker doesn’t generate the image itself. For me, thumbnails work perfectly 99% of the time, but for someone who is constantly working with freshly downloaded files, I can understand that it would be a pain.
Even windows handles them better than Gnome though… I left because it’s legit unusable if you do any design whatsoever.
The KDE video previews for .MKV alone was enough for a switch from me.
Yeah but you also have to put up with the rest of that DE
No, you quite literally do not.
No on by default. Essentially only for images.
Yes on by default.

I’ve tried both. I hate kde. I get why people like it. But I personally can’t stand it.
I will quite literally never touch gnome again. KDE is insanely customizable and has thumbnails (and live previews of videos)
I respect your choice. But it’s likely just out of laziness.
@Zuberi I tried KDE it messed up my GNOME settings. It did not like it. I don’t want to spend my time customizing my desktop. I really like how stable GNOME is and how intuitively it feels. Plasma’s settings app scares me.
I mean keeping both at the same time was not the move mate 🤣
Pick one or the other and you’ll immediately see which is better, I guarantee it.
@Zuberi I rebased from Silverblue to Kinoite. So #Plasma managed to mess up by altering the #GNOME config files in my home directory which is quite invasive. I really don’t like the look and feel of default Plasma and I’m not interesting spending my time configuring it. Also I really love GNOME and there us no missing feature that Plasma offers.
no missing feature that Plasma offers.
agree to heavily disagree
This is a gnome channel. Do you just hang out here to simp for kde? Go find a kde channel where you’re not off topic
