they still, to this day, pretend the concept of a system tray doesn't exist. unfortunately applications expect one, so they put it behind a menu in a dropdown with a picture of a ghost so you know an app is hiding somewhere
it's insane
Okay, what's a "system tray" and what would you use it for?
a container for information related to your system (datetime, battery, networking, along with custom things that 3rd party apps might put in (automated mouse jiggler, chat client etc)
think i3bar if you need a unix-style equivalency
Not something I've ever seen (or noticed, at least) or used.
There's a clock at the top of the screen in Gnome.
