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.

May want to try installing Waybar. The default one in Sway has issues like this.
I'm already using waybar.... I'm sorry if it wasn't clear in the post.
Do other tray applications work?
Yes, everything else I use works and minimizes to tray as usual
Oh okay, I thought it might have been some config issue with the tray waybar module. But seems like it's not. I'm not sure in this case, maybe look at the logs if there's some dependency missing or something
