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!

Completely agree although I love rm -r since it’s way better than cluttering up my trash folder 😄
That’s part of the Dash to Dock extension I think. Go to the Dash to Dock settings in the Extensions app. There should be settings in one of the tabs for notification icons/badges or something similar.
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.
Yup that did it. but when I report the errors, nothing freaking happens. it just loads and loads and loads and hangs.
Right click on the 9 dots button -> Dash to dock Settings > Launcher > Scroll down > Show the number of unread notifications
It’s a notification counter, kinda like phones have.
I had this too, I think it’s a bug. It’s a notification counter from dash to dock, like the other user said. I disabled the counter completely to get rid of it
