Anyone know why exposes a list of applications on the lock screen?

It’s not even the correct list of running applications, you can’t do anything with them, and I’m not sure I understand the logic behind this design decision at all.

Apparently they’re notifications (thanks, @farshidhakimy) even though the notification text isn’t displayed so… 🤷

Anyway, you can turn them off from Settings → Notifications → Lock Screen Notifications.

(This should be the default.)

Screenshot of GNOME Settings dialogue showing the Notifications section with the Lock Screen Notifications switch turned off.

@nekohayo @farshidhakimy Thanks, Jeff, good to know. Also, appreciate your care in collating the related issues; thanks again :)

TexJoachim,

@aral Haven't ever seen that. Is that a new thing?

@TexJoachim No idea; have been there for a while but I run Fedora Silverblue which is always up-to-date.

farshidhakimy,

@aral aren't these your notifications?

@farshidhakimy Ah, is that what they are? Given they provide no information and you can’t do anything with them, I’d always assumed is was a list of your running applications until I realised they don’t match that list.

My question remains :)

@aral @farshidhakimy I think this is what happens if you tell it to show notifications on the lockscreen, but not the notifications' content, which is a privacy setting, I believe.

@fell @farshidhakimy Yeah… it’s basically visual noise.

@fell @farshidhakimy I get the latter. But without the latter they’re basically useless so why are they there (much less by default?) :)

@aral @farshidhakimy I don't know either. I never want notifications on my lock screen anyway on amy OS. Heck, I don't even use a lock screen but that's a different story.

@farshidhakimy @aral Yes, these are notifications, and it drives me a little bit crazy that the lock screen shows notifications that appeard before the screen was locked, and that there's no timeout for any notifications, so you have to manually dismiss them all all the time.
