Hello all, I am brand new to fedora, so Im still learning the ropes. I’ve been noticing this red number 1 next to the file manager in the dock. Being a debian/ubuntu guy at heart, I don’t quite know how to troubleshoot this. Hope you guys can shed some light; pic is below!

Yeah this is something I despise about Gnome right now. It’s just not intuitive and once I go into the app, the notification badge should go away, but doesn’t; requiring me to manually clear it anyway. They chose the absolute worst way to handle notifications in my opinion.

Same shit Microsoft does. I try to use the notification center to keep track of Teams and Outlook at work, so I don’t have to have them visible or switch to them so much. But if you read an email or thread in the app, it doesn’t clear that notification in notification center. At least the badge clears, though.

Does anyone actually do this right, in a desktop OS? I think Mac OS might, if I could stand it.

Yeah MS notifications aren’t great either. macOS is easier to deal with in my opinion. However, I suspect there are other DEs on Linux that handle it better than Gnome has as of late. Perhaps KDE or Cinnamon or XFCE? I haven’t checked those out in a good while so I can’t speak to how well they’re done.

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.
