    I have no idea what any of those words mean and that makes me want to stick to Windows.

    • xx-zones allows windows to place themselves

      dbus_annotations allows menu items (like file, edit, etc) to be searchable by other apps

      ext-tray allows tray icons to display things other than text in their menus (like sliders or whatever)

        I feel like most people dont know and dont care what that is and i definetly dont think its stopping people from using linux.

        • xx-zones in particular is a huge deal for many very important usecases

          dbus_annotations is huge for me, but ext-tray fair enough.

          global shortcuts is also huge, plenty of people consider that mandatory.

    • Luckily you don’t need to. I didn’t know either until I read their next comment. And I’ve been using various Linux Distros for 15 years or so.

      I have no fucking clue either, and I daily drive linux on my home pc.

    • You absolutely don’t need to know what that means, and you don’t have to wait for it either. Those are specific things some users want on one desktop environment/window manager, and not necessary to run Linux.

      Jumping if you want to and experience it for yourself. I’ve been happily gaming on Linux for 3 years now.
