#elementaryOS and #GNOME devs are not in the business of forever supporting every conceivable MS Windows feature by default.

As there is a sandboxing-compatible (and Wayland-compatible) FreeDesktop API for background apps (tray icons or not) nowadays, apps that do not use it yet need to get on with the program.

I went ahead and reported https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/10162 for your NextCloud app case (I never had to use it, as I use GNOME Online Accounts' built-in NextCloud provider).

i'm offgrid for 4 days! congratulations #gnome again on

(a) the most meaningful election in a long time! there's a great list of candidates and it's hard to choose.

(b) your first fellows — this is everything for the gnome foundation and, i hope, the start of a new era for the #linux desktop.

❤️❤️❤️

There has NEVER been a more meaningful time to donate to #gnome. Your donation goes directly to the Linux desktop, directly to digital sovereignty, directly to contributors. This is wonderful.

I'm already looking forward to 2027's Fellowship announcement. 😀

Cuanto más uso GNOME, más me gusta. Al principio cuesta un poco adaptarse, pero cuando le pillas el ritmo es rápido, fluido y te hace más productivo que muchos otros escritorios. En openSUSE Tumbleweed va de maravilla 👍😀🐧

Out there on Facebook, under posts of #KDE unveiling their non-binary mascot, sour people are commenting how they'll switch to #Gnome ... as if it was a war and as if KDE and GNOME competed. People get hung up on such silly things.
