important: i'm as noob as a noob can be when it comes to linux. i have been using linux for a few months now bc i hate big tech, and i'm trying to learn gradually, but i know next to zero about coding and downloading stuff from github and stuff like that, please be considerate of that if anyone tries to answer me 🥹

i'm someone that likes downloading many memes and pics for communicating in messaging apps. however, when i try to attach a file to a conversation, my pictures are shown like this (a big list in which i have to click every picture one at a time to find the picture i want to attach), which is kind of annoying. does anybody know how to show the images in more of a gallery view?

Unfortunately mint's file picker dialogue doesn't have grid view yet - I think Gnome just got it a few versions ago. A workaround for now is to find stuff in the normal file browser, copy a file, then paste that into the directory in the file picker (control+L to edit the directory as text), then press enter.
