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.

Is there any way to make the GTK file picker's search faster? (lemmy.world)

I've given up on trying to use the QT file picker everywhere, as theming and image previews are broken when I try to do it on NixOS, so now I want to improve the GTK file picker.

And so I ask, is there any way or extension to make the search faster?

That means you know how to enable it in Mozilla Firefox, right? I saw a thread on Reddit where someone told people how to enable it, but I can't find the thread anywhere and I'd be so much happier with the Qt one. Could you please help me out?

Sorry for being off-topic

enable xdg portal integration in Firefox (assuming you use Plasma which probably has builtin xdg portal support)
