What’s New in Notifications
summary
Aims to bring Linux notifications up to par with Android/iOS by standardizing features through the portal API, making notifications reliably tied to an app, and adding image/media previews and sound control; work includes GNOME Shell 46 UI cleanups, an expanded notification drawer, and a window activation fix that stops notifications opening inert placeholders. Grouping by app and grouping by conversation is designed but not merged yet. Project is funded by the Sovereign Tech Fund after 10–15 years of little change.
