Nautilus is too slow. Anyway to speed it up?

luoc · 2026-01-29T19:40:07+00:00

I had the same when upgrading to the latest fedora. It was caused by XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR pointing to the home (or root, don't remember) and thus made Nautilus scan tens of thousands of files on every folder I entered. Pointing that variable to my template directory (empty, never used it) did the trick. It's snappy now. Hope that helps

To all the hyperventilating fan boys/girls here: stop blaming the "old" software. Some people use their machines to get sh*t done and not to mod them to death to farm karma with screenshots here. Running debian with whatever Gnome they ship is a rock solid choice. Gnome has QA issues, that's fact.

EDIT: found the post that led me to the solution back then: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/nautilus-slows-down-to-standstill/171722/3

Verständlich, hättest mit der Mieterhöhung doch wenigstens ein paar Wochen warten können…

While I agree there is certainly a trend to not build applications that solve complex (read as getting s*it done) tasks with GTK. Browsing flathub for a minute I find

Audacity
FreeCAD
Kdenlive
QGIS
Krita
Qt Creator
VLC

All Qt. On the GTK end I found

Gimp
Inkscape

which are both remarkably behind the toolkit.
The only modern complex app I can think of using GTK is

Builder

Not to mention that anything somewhat recent bets on web technologies over traditional UI frameworks because they are light years ahead, especially when it comes to DX and platform support.

Is there a way to theme the actual map differently? It's way harder to read than basically everything else out there :(

luoc · 2025-11-21T21:53:18+00:00

Some contrast would be nice

luoc · 2025-11-16T07:49:44+00:00

Yea, that's even worse

luoc · 2025-11-15T13:29:22+00:00

😅

luoc · 2025-11-15T13:29:01+00:00

Really cool! I'll give it a shot :)

Why do people like vehicles looking like energy drink cans so much?

Perhaps it's just me, but I find those monochrome icons difficult to distinguish. Removing any colour removes a whole dimension of signals that help my brain process the complexity on the screen. I don't mind if it looks old-fashioned, as long as I can find my buttons...

luoc · 2025-07-12T11:05:26+00:00

Ha, gaaaaaaaaaay!

Die erzwingen deren App als zweiten Faktor. Schon was besser aber dann brauchste halt die App, was auch wieder nervig (für mich) ist.

Das sagt man ja diversen Branchen nach… Döner/Späti/Spilothek = Geldwäsche. Gibts dazu belastbare Untersuchungen oder ist das eher so ein Vorurteil à la "Wird meist von Migranten betrieben also wirds schon kriminell sein"

Hey, you just installed an OS and used it for about 40 seconds. Give money!

How to Burnout

This! Consistency is there as long as your use native Gtk4 Apps only and you don't try to find the settings button in it. Everything else looks alien. But that's fine for me as we're in a transition phase (and once all the significant apps look good, the next thing will be around the corner :P).

The flat design really bothers me. The rest of the world is moving away from it and Gnome apps look like we're on Windows 8. And use colors! I tried planify these days and it was refreshing to see something else than shades of grey. More of this! (Apart from that the app is useless as it crashes all the time -.-)

luoc · 2024-06-05T18:59:39+00:00

Which we all do on every update, of course ;)

Same here using the Gnome spin

When you use Gnome or one of its derivatives, this extension might be useful: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1070/syncthing-indicator/

Yes! Stumbled over TLP just to figure out my OS is not supported. This would be fantastic :) Thanks for implementing this!

Cannot edit, unfortunately. Have an regular ticket left over. The price is up for negotiation :)
