Hi everyone,
I’ve been trying out bazzite with gnome but I always found it pretty sluggish when it comes to making thumbnails.
Even after the system generates the right thumbnails for files and folders, when I reopen nautilus it still shows a placeholder for some items, something I only ever seen with bazzite-gnome. But after I disabled the rom properties thumbnailer on my image it started working fine, just like any other distro. Not sure if disabling it for desktop images is the best call or if I’m just one of the few that actually gets annoyed by it lol.
Anyway, hope this reaches the maintainers.
TL;DR: the ‘rom properties’ thumbnailer seems to slow down nautilus when loading thumbnails.
Some examples before I removed it:
