How in the world do I set previews while browsing a folder full of photos in KDE plasma (I'm using Nobara because gaming), I can only see the generic photo icon. I love it so far and I'm having very few issues, but trying to sort and delete photos from a folder without a thumbnail/preview is impossible! I have tried googling the issue but apparently it's not that common? I'm sure these is a dumb setting somewhere but I still haven't found it.
Linux
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.

Has anyone ever used the enterprise version of dbeaver? Does it do as good a job interfacing with nosql databases it does relational databases?
Finally bit the bullet and got a Thinkpad and I'm leaning towards putting Fedora on it. I've never used Linux before but I've done some research and I like the idea of something that updates more often than Debian but isn't as DIY as Arch. Do y'all think Fedora would make a good starting point? I hear it's stable enough and offers enough non-free applications through the RPM file management system.
Also, are there any drawbacks in using the immutable Silverblue version? I'm considering it just so I don't do anything dumb by accident.
Never be afraid to try different distros you can always wipe and try again. You won’t break your computer. I’m a big fan of immutable distros but I’ve never tried fedora blue. Either will make a rock solid system
Thank you! :]
Once you’re comfortable in the rpm world, rhel is literally free for individuals.
I'm familiar with Proxmox, virtualbox, and KVM/KVM manager.
If I want to set up a PC to virtualize multiple operating systems, but with the feel of a multiboot system, what virtualization software would you suggest?
My goal is for the closest I can get to a multiboot system (windows, Debian, fedora) but virtualized so I can make snapshots. It should feel like I'm on baremetal when inside the VM.
Virtualbox is clunky with lots of pesky UI cluttering the screen and Proxmox doesn't seem great for this use case.
Is OpenRC meant to be faster than systemD as a process system? I've been thinking of spinning up some non systemD distros like Artix on a VM on a mini DELL tinbox.
I will say though, I am not an advanced Linux user as the distros I've used were :
Ubuntu Endeavour OS SpiralLinux (Easy Mode Debian)
Would I need to make configurations in openrc or can it just run without messing with it like systemD?
Thank you
I have read that it is faster, though I have not tested it myself. Personally, my initial reason to use it was just to try something new and explore the unix world. My reason for staying is that it is a very simple init system that is pleasant to work with. It made me understand what an init system is and use it a lot more.
Systemd is good if you just want something invisible and you do not want to mess too much with an init system unless you have to. Everything integrates with it
OpenRC is nicer if you want to write your own init scripts. It is very well documented also.
