### Removed: `skipTaskbar` on Linux
See `skipTaskbar` discussion in 19.0 below. This feature is not available on
Wayland. Since most modern Linux desktops are transitioning to Wayland, this

### Unsupported: `skipTaskbar` on Linux
On X11, `skipTaskbar` sends a `_NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR` message to the X11

requires unsafe mode), so Electron is unable to support this feature on Linux.
