Dash to Dock is a GNOME Shell extension that moves the dash out of the activities overview and turns it into a persistent, customizable dock. It supports autohide, intellihide, and fixed modes for faster application launching and window/workspace switching.
Use cases
- add a macOS-style dock to GNOME Shell
- launch applications without opening the overview
- switch between windows and workspaces faster
- keep favorite apps always visible on screen
- customize dock position, size, and autohide behavior
When to choose
- you use GNOME Shell and want a persistent dock
- you want deep integration with GNOME's dash and workspaces
- you need autohide or intellihide dock behavior
When to avoid
- you use a desktop environment other than GNOME Shell
- you want a standalone dock app independent of the shell
- you run a GNOME version not yet supported by the extension
