I just don't get the vendetta GNOME has against background processes. GNOME devs just don't use email clients, cloud sync applications, chat clients...? GNOME treats my Nextcloud sync app (which I NEED to be running at all times) as if it was malware or something.

Context for not-Gnome users? How does a desktop care about anything not desktop?

If you minimize a window, it goes into a list of "Background Apps" in the charms menu where the only option you have is to close it. There's no native systems tray.

there's a tray, it's just in the activities tab. press the super key (or click activities in the top left) to bring up the activities view, then the tray is at the bottom

That's an app launcher, not a systems tray

Well, it's where minimized apps go

I wasn't sure, what that screen looks like these days. Well, it wasn't terribly helpful to type into image search "gnome activities". ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I'm confused. I have a bar of all active applications at the bottom of my screen. Even if I minimise or "hide" the window it still shows that app as an active one that I can re-fullscreen
