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.

No. Why would they do that?.
So that people can't easily track how much time is spent on getting round window corners compared to how much time is spent not implementing thumbnails in a file chooser dialog?
18 years, by the way.
I, just 10 minutes ago, was looking for an artwork of mine to upload here on lemmy. I gave up. It's beyond insane to not have a thumb nail option in the browser for a file upload.
Gnome3 devs prioritize what makes their jobs easier over what makes user experiences better.
I recommend switching to KDE if you want a DE with more features.
