How to Reset Ubuntu Dock to Default Settings

Do you want to reset the Ubuntu Dock to its default settings, with the same app shortcuts placed on it as if you had just installed Ubuntu? If so, you can get back to a ‘fresh install feeling’ using a terminal command. There are numerous ways to customise the Ubuntu Dock, including adding, removing, and reordering app shortcuts; changing the size of icons; moving the Ubuntu Dock to a different position on the screen; hiding mounted drives… And, if you’ve ever read one of my guides on things to do after installing Ubuntu, you may have run a command enable :sys_more_orange:

This GTK4 Fork of Ubuntu’s Desktop Icons Extension is Pretty Neat

If you’re an avid user of Ubuntu’s desktop icons extension but you wish it did a little bit more there’s an enhanced GTK4 version you need to check out. The perfunctorily-titled ‘Gtk4 Desktop Icons NG’ extension is a direct fork of the regular Desktop Icons NG extension that Ubuntu has shipped with since Ubuntu 21.04 (trivia: that extension is itself a fork of the original desktop icons extension created by GNOME developers). So what’s special about it? For many, the most compelling “feature” of GTK4 Desktop Icons NG is that it — at last! — does what many have longed :sys_more_orange:

Dev Ports Popular Unity-Era Feature to Ubuntu Dock – But Will It Be Merged?

Cool thing exists, falls out of vogue, gets forgotten, then comes back to much hype – a tale as old as time, and as true for code as pop stars and fashion.
