You're at least a decade late with that meme. Even footfags have thumbnails in their file picker now.

have you tried using gnome or kde instead of whatever came with your meme distro?

Another day, another humiliation for KDE

It's a meme DE like gnome. Use Xfce if you want a functional desktop environment.

you have to configure all the shit, because linux suck

Linux is not Windows. Get used to it.

1. Locate the image in your favorite file manager with thumbnails.
2. Drag and drop it onto the "Choose File" button in your web browser with 4chinz open.
use case for file picker dialogs?

You don't have to configure anything if you don't use trash software. I tried Falkon and Vivaldi and both had thumbnails with 0 configuration required. Pretty sure Chromium has them too, but I don't have it installed and I don't feel like wasting my time to try something that's obviously going to work just fine.

but cinnamon doesn't xd

Okay, for anyone who has or had this problem (like I did) I realized you could change your file picker without changing your file manager, it took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to figure this. I specifically had this problem on cinnamon like >>106727374
So, first go to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xdg-desktop-portal and choose a portal with a file chooser, the ones I know for sure have thumbnail views are xdg-desktop-portal-gnome and xdg-desktop-portal-lxqt, I choose the latter because it's less bloated.
Next install the desktop portal using your file manager, for example I picked the lxqt portal so I just ran

sudo apt install xdg-desktop-portal-lxqt

Now create a file in ~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/portals.conf
Inside this file you should have something like this

[preferred]
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.FileChooser=lxqt

Replace lxqt with the name of the desktop portal you have installed.
If you're using Firefox or one of its clones then you also need to go to about:config and change the value of widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker to 1
Note: if changes don't take effect then try running

killall xdg-desktop-portal

And now lxqt file picker (which has thumbnail view) should show up regardless of your DE.

Only works for X11, doesn't work for Wayland because of window isolation or some shit
