Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sound advice.
Completely agree although I love rm -r since it's way better than cluttering up my trash folder 😄
Clicking delete while pressing shift should do the same thing in most file managers, just use it with caution
Good to know, thank you
but I heard rm -rf /* made my computer faster. (This is a joke never run this command. (outside of a vm that you are willing to kill))
You have 1 notification concerning Nautilus, be it a file copy was completed or the like. If you click the notification center (the Date/Time on the top bar) and clear out your notifications there the 1 should go away.
Yup that did it. but when I report the errors, nothing freaking happens. it just loads and loads and loads and hangs.
Which errors are we talking about?
Right click on the 9 dots button -> Dash to dock Settings > Launcher > Scroll down > Show the number of unread notifications
It's a notification counter, kinda like phones have.
That's part of the Dash to Dock extension I think. Go to the Dash to Dock settings in the Extensions app. There should be settings in one of the tabs for notification icons/badges or something similar.
I had this too, I think it's a bug. It's a notification counter from dash to dock, like the other user said. I disabled the counter completely to get rid of it
I think the issue stemmed from my failed attempt to install deepin desktop. I removed the DE, but im sure there were lingering files or apps
