Itching to try GNOME 49 today? Developers and curious testers can try GNOME OS in a virtual machine or bare metal:

os.gnome.org/

Just remember that GNOME OS itself is considered pre-release software; bad things may happen if you use it in production. Happy testing!

To anybody who uses gnome today: I haven't used gnome in a few years. I stopped because it didn't have a system tray for things like steam, discord, teams, docker, podman, etc...

I had to use an extension to get one there but it broke after every update.

Is a system tray (or something like it) built in yet? Where do the icons for those background apps sit? Are they forced into the space of the dock with the other apps? Or is there another approach that doesn't break after every update?
