there! Hope everyone is doing fine. I've recently upgraded my laptop, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, but I do miss the wonderful dock the former does have. I mean, scrolling on the dock I could easily switch amongst windows (applications, files, etc), no additional clicks.

Would anyone know how to have it on Ubuntu 20.04?

Thanks in advance!

Since quite a few versions, Ubuntu moved from its own Unity desktop to the Gnome Shell desktop. The Ubuntu Dock in current session works quite the same as that in Unity.

  • You can change the behaviour of the Dock so that scrolling the mouse over an app's icon switches windows. To do this, use either dconf-editor (not installed by default), or use the following command:

    gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock scroll-action 'cycle-windows'

  • You can continue to use the Unity shell, which is still available. Install unity-session. Then log out, and before logging in, use the cog wheel to select the Unity session.
