My dash on the left hand side of the desktop is suddenly at the bottom of the desktop after I installed the i3 window manager (sudo apt install i3) and logged in and out of an i3 session.

I tried:

  • Changing the dash in Settings. The dash does not respond to any of the options (icon size, position, panel mode, etc.)
  • Uninstalling and purging i3 and all packages, that came with it (sudo apt purge --autoremove "i3*")
  • Logging in and out again, restarting
  • dconf reset -f /org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock/

How can I change the dash back to its old behavior and have it respond to settings?

(A Note: I also logged into a "Gnome Classic" session and had a look around. But I doubt that could be responsible for the changes or could it?)

Apparently through me trying out window managers, all of gnome-extensions got somehow disabled. To re-enable it, I

  • Opened gnome-exentions (typed "Extensions" in the dash)
  • Enabled Gnome Extensions and especially the built-in extension Ubuntu Dock

The dock managed from the settings seems to be a gnome extension now. This answer led me on the right track.
