Why does Gnome not have tray icons yet! I really don't get it.
I don't want to use extensions.
yet? They had them like forever and removed them. IIRC the reasoning was that implementation between applications was wildly inconsistent but the situation is far from optimal either way
Yeah, the consensus within the GNOME dev community is that yes, tray icons can be implemented as of right now, but it would lead to very messy systems and most surely lots of technical debt, so the chosen path forward is to wait for a better, unified alternative to arise and then evaluate its implementation in GNOME.
