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!

    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’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 :)
