Very slow desktop, extremely slow to use file browser. Initial login taking too much time. Very high CPU usage by 
nautilus which very unusual.

Comment 1 Stephen So 2025-11-03 00:36:44 UTC 
I've also noticed the slowness of nautilus and also noted it uses close to 100% CPU load as well.
Comment 2 Michael Kuhn 2025-11-03 20:58:07 UTC 
I ran into the same problem and created https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/glib2/pull-request/23 with a glib2 backport that fixes it for me.
Comment 3 Arun Babu Neelicattu 2025-11-04 15:20:07 UTC 
Updating XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR value in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs to $HOME/Templates works around the issue in the interim.
