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!
Warning: No matter what anyone tells you, do not use any rm command with the -r option and/or any wildcard charachers like * and ?, unless you understand the command fully.
Sound advice.
Completely agree although I love rm -r since it's way better than cluttering up my trash folder 😄
Clicking delete while pressing shift should do the same thing in most file managers, just use it with caution
Good to know, thank you
but I heard rm -rf /* made my computer faster. (This is a joke never run this command. (outside of a vm that you are willing to kill))
You have 1 notification concerning Nautilus, be it a file copy was completed or the like. If you click the notification center (the Date/Time on the top bar) and clear out your notifications there the 1 should go away.
Yup that did it. but when I report the errors, nothing freaking happens. it just loads and loads and loads and hangs.
Which errors are we talking about?
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.
I can vouch for KDE doing it better, and in my opinion KDE does everything better except look unique like Gnome. KDE looks almost identical to Windows by default but it gives you the tools to be laid out however you want, if you want to put in the time.
I'll definitely give KDE another go. Every time I try it, I end up back at Gnome. I probably just haven't taken the time to properly configure it to my liking :)
Depending on your liking it can take a while to get it all set. Gnome has the appeal of being set in a way that is unique to Linux and being simple to get going and start working. KDE is a rabbit hole of adjusting and tweaking. But I appreciate that KDE lets me have fractional scaling and wallpaper slideshows without extensions that break with every major Gnome updates.
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.
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.
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
I think the issue stemmed from my failed attempt to install deepin desktop. I removed the DE, but im sure there were lingering files or apps
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.
