Trays Icons, Native Flathub, and System Monitor

[valex199132]

Hello. First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone on the beautiful interface of Elementary OS. I started using Linux-based systems a few months ago and this was by far the most beautiful and cohesive system I've observed. As version number 8 is being developed, I would like to suggest three things for it: that the system should support icons in the tray for software that runs in the background; native support for Flathub enabled by default in the app store, as it has few apps; and a native software to monitor the system's processes, because this is very much needed when a software crashes and we have to forcibly terminate a process.

I agree on everything, but we need to analyze these integrations thoroughly.

1. Native System Monitor: It's essential for eOS, but it must adhere the design guidelines used for others native apps.
2. Integration with FlatHub: ok but we need to differentiate between native eOS apps (written in Vala) and the other from FlatHub.
3. Tray Icons: Absolutely agree.

1. See here: https://github.com/orgs/elementary/discussions/248 — though, it suggests including a third-party app from a sole developer, which also contains protestware elements(!). Apart from that, eOS already features a CLI system monitor called htop.
2. I believe it is included to the OS8 roadmap already? At the very least, it is now featured in onbording app.
3. They were intentionally removed in OS 5 (iirc): https://github.com/orgs/elementary/discussions/273

Not only that, they could also put something like applets on the panel, I used that a lot, especially for pomodoro techniques. When will application indicators or applets be added to the Elementary OS panel?

The rest is too perfect, that's all that's missing for me. I love Elementary and it is greatly increasing my productivity in every way, because of that I will become a donor and help here.
