From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The DE is not reliant on Gtk, it uses Iced, which is fully written in Rust. And the Gtk file picker also has thumbnails now.
Have the cosmic devs said if their file picker portal will support thumbnails?
They haven't created the file chooser portals yet. But I saw a comment from mmstick a few months ago on reddit that he said it will support it. I mean it's a simple basic- feature, gnome could've had it if they cared.
Gnome has it now! It only took 20 years which makes it so much better to see it in action. Thanks to the person who made that contribution!
