In this video, learn how to install and enable the Dash to Dock extension in Gnome, featuring Arch Linux. Dash to Dock restores and enhances the dock functionality on the Gnome desktop, which by default may not show a persistent dock. We start by updating your package repositories and installing essential tools like git and sassc. Then, clone the Dash to Dock repository from GitHub and build it using make and make install. After installation, reboot your system to activate the extension. Once enabled, you can customize the dock’s appearance, position, size, and behavior to suit your workflow. This guide works on Arch Linux but can be adapted for other distributions with minor changes.
