What’s the reasoning behind not having a “system tray” in GNOME? You need to install an extension for that, and that is a weird process for newcomers/beginners.

But my question is why? Does GNOME really think you don’t need one? Why don’t they include it?

    Damn, this thread you’ve linked… I can’t believe they didn’t even want to consider giving the user an option to choose the behavior for themselves.

        I don’t know if I’d call that “admirable”. It’s not the first time I see Gnome team basically telling the users “STFU, we know better”.
