1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I just don't get the vendetta GNOME has against background processes. GNOME devs just don't use email clients, cloud sync applications, chat clients...? GNOME treats my Nextcloud sync app (which I NEED to be running at all times) as if it was malware or something.

    Context for not-Gnome users? How does a desktop care about anything not desktop?

    If you minimize a window, it goes into a list of "Background Apps" in the charms menu where the only option you have is to close it. There's no native systems tray.

    there's a tray, it's just in the activities tab. press the super key (or click activities in the top left) to bring up the activities view, then the tray is at the bottom

    That's an app launcher, not a systems tray

    Well, it's where minimized apps go

    I wasn't sure, what that screen looks like these days. Well, it wasn't terribly helpful to type into image search "gnome activities". 🙃

    I'm confused. I have a bar of all active applications at the bottom of my screen. Even if I minimise or "hide" the window it still shows that app as an active one that I can re-fullscreen
