It used to work on Fedora out-of-the-box, but when I installed ProtonVPN on Debian I couldn't get it to minimize to the waybar tray.

The instructions at the proton installation guide page for debian provide a fix for Gnome. Does something like it exist for sway?

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?

[-] mmm@mander.xyz 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Yes, everything else I use works and minimizes to tray as usual

You run the instructions for Gnome already, or not at all?

[-] mmm@mander.xyz 1 points 5 hours ago

Yes, I've run the instructions for Gnome already. They do not work

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.
