π SYNOPSIS π
unity-panel-service
no flags, no args, no drama. she just is. β¨
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so here's the tea π: the unity-panel-service program is normally started automatically by the Unity shell β and the Unity shell itself gets started as a compiz module, iykyk β and its whole job is to draw panels. those panels then get used for the global menu, or to hold indicators. that's it, that's the main character energy π
ngl you basically never launch this yourself. it just shows up, does its thing, and slays quietly in the background.
