Yep. I just spent a couple of hours trying to get image thumbnails back in Ubuntu. Because you know, I use that Ubuntu machine for ordinary desktop tasks that involve images.

The solution: disabling some unknown slice of security via Apparmor to get ordinary functionality. The same reason I use X11...because security experts break things that they don't have to fix.

Is Wayland more secure? I suspect so. But I want to get shit done without trying to read Arch Wiki.
