From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[SOLVED] Snaps won't send background notifications (lemmy.ml)

edit: It can't send notifs :( https://lemmy.ml/comment/4138651

Is there a way to fix this? I am using an app called Superproductivity, it's a productivity app where you can schedule tasks and keep track of them. Now, the trouble is, it won't run in the background and it won't send me notifications. This seems to be common for all Snaps I have installed, is there a way to solve this and make it notify me even when it's not open?

Also, it also have an app image, do app images have the capacity to notify when they are not open? I have heard they can't run in the background.

Thank you to everyone who try to help me here :)

As for superconductivity, the only way around that problem is to download from source, compile it and let it run natively on your system in the background, or add it to you auto startup list so it is running at boot time.

thank you very much for the answer. But yeah, I doubt if there is a way to do that here. I would keep it open always ig! not ideal, but yeah, no other way. I like that concept of snaps and appimages, but they should only develop apps which don't require background notifs like idk Obsidian.md or some note taking app or file managers and stuff! Not a productivity app!
