This was the reason I switched to KDE Plasma, which is excellent these days.
- Longhanks 1y agoIn what way is Gnome meant to be accessible to a broader audience? They clearly do not give that impression; a broader audience would be interested in tray icons, desktop icons, theming support — ideas they clearly reject.

- rkangel 1y agoIf I look at my Windows system tray, it's full of random crap that I never look at and never need to. Windows has to have functionality to automatically hide icons you don't interact with. I can see why Gnome has decided just to do away with the concept.
