COtherwise they're all cosmetic extensions that I could just disable with no loss of functionality
Aim afraid to update again and messed up my device
Mbazzite comes with extensions iirc
CThey're useful
Ait doesn't bother me all that much tho tbh. I like a little bit of blur on the top bar but that's about the full extent of it
Hbut like
idk
it feels a bit like that picture of homer with his back fat clipped
like yeah it works, it's just that you have to live the life of a buddhist monk and abstain from using anything involving trays lmao

VI know but I feel that's one of the annoying parts of GNOME extensions. They don't always work super well together.
Cit's odd that gnome doesn't have them by default
CThe current implementations for them are all inconsistent and quite shit
AI mean I should note that to even get the top panel blur here I have to flick a switch in blur my shell and also this is a bit of a non standard layout anyway but it's what I find comfy
Hi think it was a technical issue
CEven the Canonical extension one
CIt's being worked on though
Cliterally i3 window manager can do it
Cwhy can't gnome
Hkstatusnotifier wasn't made with anything but unsandboxed plain x11 in mind, and libayatana is just weird and fucky
CBut living without tray icons is really easy if you actually want to focus on what you're doing
Hi don't agree with that decision but like
Atray icons have always been a bit hacky
KWe ship tray icons in gnome
KWorks well enough
Hit's understandable at least
CThere's a bug with the legacy icons disabling VRR which is annoying
Hi hope someone comes up with a better api for them
Abut as it stands like, I mean I don't mind using GNOME with extensions. It's still my preferred DE of choice even if I have to tweak it a bit simply because said tweaking is a bit less hairpulling than KDE and also it like... works and is stable
Awhich is what I primarily want from my system
COf course a great number of people have 500 things open at any given time
CAnd fair enough
VThis is my work flow, GNOMErs can call it "flawed" all they want but this is the Linux desktop and I get to do it how I want.
AI just dislike the apple traffic light buttons tbh
Areally when it comes down to it, use what works for you
Athat's all that matters
Ait's your damn computer
Hlike currently it's just a weird and odd trade off between "unsecure protocol and broken by design protocol" and "having no tray access"
VI mean I don't love them, but I wanted a change from breeze.
Athere's no objectively correct way to have your UI setup, just subjective

Afair. Tbh KDE's big theming problem is it's full of macOS UI ripoffs which is agony
MI always just learn to use whatever is set by default, because the amount of time I end up spending trying to tinker with things and innevitably breaking it is more than I would save by it being absolutely perfect
Await so do tray icons break directscanout
Hyeah
COnly the legacy ones(notably Wine's)
Vso retro
Aoutstanding
Aold as piss tray icon standard moment

It's either the X11 windows used as icons created by the applications or the override redirect windows that gnome-shell creates as parent windows for those client windows that are preventing direct scanout somehow.
Hyeah it's just cursed lmao
Hdamned if you enable it, damned if you disable it
Ax11 moment
M
direct scanout
