It's really interesting that the notch was basically only an option on a Mac laptop. It doesn't work at all with Windows or KDE. It almost works on Gnome.
But with macOS, the menu bar has been there since the very beginning, and the center of the bar has been increasingly empty as resolutions increased. A fortunate coincidence.
The notch is here to stay, until good cameras get a lot smaller. It just makes a ton of sense as a solution.
- zozbot234 5y agoGnome Phosh has gained an option to cope with screen notches by shifting the top bar clock away from the cutout area, so that it remains visible. Presumably, Gnome-Shell will be doing the same on these devices.
