Why is it so hard in #Ubuntu and with #Gnome to show thumbnails of the screenshots I made, so I know which image to select without painstakingly opening them one by one from separate file window?
There's many images in my screenshot dir, all having thumbnails, except those created in the last 5 days. Why no thumbnails here? Why?
One of my daily-driven laptops is getting a new #Linux system installed. I'm not sure whether I should stay in my familiar, cosy vanilla @gnome world – including my personal customisations, or whether I should finally seriously consider running the equally interesting #KDE for a longer term.
(No, other desktop environments are not really an option at this point)

@boredsquirrel I personally use neither of those, but I've had to fix issues on computers running both.
I can tell that the apple GUI is clumsy, but sadly inevitable when you want to do stuff. I would always lose time trying to tile or move windows without success.
At least in #Gnome, it's #linux so you can fix everything without being forced into using a badly designed GUI and a lot of things work well. Though you'd better not be looking for some customization on Gnome, but if you bought an apple device you've already kissed customization (and fair prices) goodbye so to me there is no real question between the two in terms of user experience.
You may think that the finances of the GNOME project are assured for times to come thanks to the Sovereign Tech Fund's donation of one million euros. But this million euros is distributed conditionally for very specific developments. The GNOME foundation has been living on its reserves for several years, and will now have to scale back its operations.
@nixCraft while the updates are great, I'm finding problems with #Gnome 46, especially Settings, App Center, and Extensions. Issues include flickering, half drawn dialog boxes and plain omd freezing the machine.
Saw this once before when #Canonical switched to Gnome. Grant you, I'm running this on an old machine and VMs but the specs are still good enough.
