fell for the linux meme, now i can't even see the thumbnails when i click to select a file on Firefox. GTK File Chooser is so fucking shit, i miss Windows Explorer.
windows explorer mogs everything linux has to offert. kdeCHAD
>>109071882just use a different file explorer then?Linux is just a kernelyou are using some specific skin for it that might not suit you and think it's all of Linux?
You should be able to. Try going into about:config and setting widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker to 1.
>>109071902mint already has a different file explorer but when i try to open a file on Firefox it goes back to the GTK shit>>109071912already did that. Doesn't seem to work. i'm using flatpak firefox btw, the mint version fucked up when i tried to import my profiles from windows.
>>109071882bait thread
>>109071919I'm not too familiar with flatpak, but it seems like it's probably the sandboxing that is causing you issues here.
>>109071955Even with a fresh installation from APT, it keeps using GTK
>>109071919>i'm using flatpak firefox btwTake the Sid pill where you can run the latest Firefox as a native .deb package from Debian.
>>109071882Dual boot then. Linux is good for specific tasks, but Windows is a much comfier desktop experience. Even KDE cannot match it (Gnome is just an abomination, unworthy of serious consideration).
Solved for years in GNOME and KDE. Get off Mint, it's a fork of a fork, not just any fork but of Ubuntu the most annoying fuckers in desktop Linux. Some boomer memed you into installing x11 and gtk3 in 2026. Don't flatpak browsers btw. Try Arch or Fedora.
>>109072280brother this was true 15 years ago. you won't convince anyone that the jeetware explorer of today is comfy in any way.
>>109072425gonna take a loot at arch this night.
>>109071882go back then.
>>109071882unironically install nautilus, it has a unique file picker (for some god forsaken reason) that mogs all the alternativesnautilus >> qt/KDE >>> vanilla GTK
>>109072615Firefox simply doesn't recognize it and uses GTK instead.
>>109072624it's hit or miss, I usually just remove whatever other file manager I have and just keep nautilus, tends to work. don't know if some specific update made it more consistent or not
>>109071882Loonix sucks. Come back to windows with the rest of us smart people
what if we just killed every microsoft pajeet that came here and posted retarded anti linux threads?
>>109071919Use the .deb package or an AppImage. I am using Ungoogled Chromium.
>>109071882I'm gonna guess it's probably the permissions, specifically the org.freedesktop.FileManager1 talk.With Nautilus or Dolphin (or any file manager that implements this interface), Firefox would be able to use it as the file picker.Check the flatpak permissions using Flatseal.Under Session Bus > Talks, you should see an entry for "org.freedesktop.FileManager1".If not, add it.If it is there, then it's something else and you should post the permissions listed by "flatpak info --show-permissions org.mozilla.firefox" and maybe someone can help.
>>109071882Don't use garbage DEs, actual gtk desktop like gnome has thumbnails. You can still use this:https://github.com/dvhar/pikeru
>>109071919Firefox sucks and you should't use browsers in flatpak because ot breaks the sandboxing.
By calling it GTK File Chooser and not Linux, you ruined the credibility of your bait, OP.
>>109071882desktop linux can't even deliver a windows 98 level of desktop experience
>>109072267>Debian.it's jeetware now
>>109071882Works for me using GNOME
>>109076189>Don't use garbage DEs>links to kiddy project with over 4000 lines in main.rsWe're all very proud of you learning Rust anon, now put the fries in the bag.
>>109071882windows 7 allows you to resize the icons or make a list if you want.
>>109071919oy vey just use an llm retard. off the top of my head:```local/xdg-desktop-portal 1.22.0-1 <- most importantlocal/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk 1.15.3-1local/xdg-desktop-portal-kde 6.6.5-1 (plasma)local/xdg-user-dirs 0.20-1local/xdg-utils 1.2.1-2tumblerffmpegthumbnailer```one of these will fix your shit. install all the xdg packages or those that apply to you, that's prob what ur missing
>>109071882Just use KDE
>>109076504It's the best option if you insist on using a garbage DE.
