I can't understand why people are still using proprietary software like Windows or OSX when superior free software exists. It's a testament to the hidden monopolizing forces which exists in our society.

Linux only just gained support for things like HDR, a decade after macOS or Windows, and the main desktop shipped by the main distributions doesn't even natively support tray icons.

I'm not sure it's superior. Although GNOMEs workspace implementation imho is vastly superior to both Windows and macOS

…while perhaps there's a distribution out there that I'm unaware of not having tray icons … I've had tray icons since the first time I used Linux, and I still do?
