If you have installed Cinnamon in addition to Gnome shell when you end your Linux desktop session mint the user is not properly disconnected and going back to Gnome Shell seems to give problems to some extensions, for example: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1230/gmail-message-tray/ which seems to be no longer able to detect messages until a reboot with subsequent Gnome -Shell...This is because Cinnamon doesn't seem to correctly disconnect the user if you switch from one desktop to the other!!!
It isn't cinnamon's job to kill user processes, logind should do it.
Well I've reported what's happening, report it... I think it's useless to reopen another report!!!
We would really love to. KillUserProcesses=yes is the setting that does this. Unfortunately, people are against setting this this way. KillUserProcesses=yes would solve many issues like this (e.g. with pulseaudio remaining after a crash and similar). See #1357426.
Yes of course but if the problem occurs during reboot one does not access the shell in time You will be able to access and terminate it once you are aware of the problem, but I think that for it and new users some verification is necessary so that the problem does not recur because many often use secondary desktops!
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
