+## DEPRECATION NOTICE
+
+If you're looking for .exe thumbnails on Linux, check out [icoextract](https://github.com/jlu5/icoextract) and its built-in thumbnailer - this is a streamlined reimplementation with native support for 256x256 icons and large files. See [issue #17](https://github.com/exe-thumbnailer/exe-thumbnailer/issues/17) for more context.
