For me, desktop UI peaked at Windows 98.

Installing the 95/98 GTK theme by B00merang is one of the first things I do after a fresh installation of Linux Mint.

I do try other themes once in a blue moon. But I soon realise it is a downgrade and revert back. The last theme I tried was the Arc theme back in mid-late 2010s.

My biggest hurtle is why i can't see files as thumbnails when picking a file to open or save. It works for file library but the file picker won't show images as thumbnails. Only a list view with tiny thumbnails that sra too small to see the actual image

I never found that to be a problem. In fact, I find the thumbnails distracting. But I can see it being a problem for others.

The rare occasion I work with image files, I just open it to identify, if I haven’t already named it properly.

It also helps that most of my workflows are not image-heavy.

Yeah the thumbnail part becomes quite handy when picking pictures to edit or upload, especially when it is from a folder that mostly contains images
