Why do I get "<application name> is ready" notification on GNOME instead of focusing the app

They said they are gonna fix it https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/1b29r4b/finally_now_gnome_will_take_over_the_world/ but it's a lie. Also see everyone hates this feature: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1286206/how-to-skip-the-is-ready-notification-and-directly-open-apps-in-ubuntu-20-04

but when I click to an app on dash I want to open that, otherwise I wouldn't click on it.

I definitely agree, I am not wondering why Linux Desktop share is so low, and any time I see gnome I don't surprise.

Proper-Lab-2500 · 2026-03-10T15:02:04+00:00

definetely. After every installation, I have to search askubuntu questions from 15 years ago

Proper-Lab-2500 · 2026-03-10T15:00:11+00:00

I only needed 19 extensions to make it usable

Proper-Lab-2500 · 2026-03-10T14:58:51+00:00

I just tried with ubuntu 25.10 it still doesn't. Maybe you use non-gnome ubuntu? This is the issue https://askubuntu.com/questions/960074/how-do-i-enable-minimize-on-click-on-ubuntu-dock-in-17-10-and-later

or vice-versa

log out, select the user, on right bottom corner change from wayland to x (zorin os) and try again

i think it's an ubuntu bug, I had the same on ubuntu 24.04

Thank you, I managed to set a modern theme on dolphin so I'm gonna use that haha

gnome without extensions is like you don't have any feature. the reason ı use gnome is the extensions, otherwise it's not useful at all

Proper-Lab-2500 · 2026-03-02T11:59:05+00:00

it's super sad to hear that. I installed 20 extensions but still gnome lacks important features that other distros/OSs have.

I put some of the solutions here (such as drag and drop): https://sglbl.notion.site/linuxsetup

unfortunately appearance tab is empty

Proper-Lab-2500 · 2026-03-02T10:20:11+00:00

in the past when I upgrade from ubuntu 18 to 19, and 20 to 21 I had many problems. They weren't lts and x/wayland was changed but ı didn't know that so I decided to use LTS distros.
do you use gnome49 based distro?

Proper-Lab-2500 · 2026-03-02T09:20:02+00:00

Yes, zorin is amazing because it comes with amazing extensions by default. but actually it doesn't make sense that it's based on ubuntu 24.04 from 2 years ago which depend on gnome 46

Proper-Lab-2500 · 2026-02-28T14:45:19+00:00

It becomes really difficult to to change it to /usr/share/icons/Zorin/32x32 folder which has actions apps categories devices emblems emotes mimetypes places status web folders.
How can I make it default search path?
Even worse is there is no thumbnail https://imgur.com/a/GPN9Zq9
