Ubuntu contributor Didier Roche talks about the Ubuntu Dock, a dock implementation for Ubuntu 17.10 based on the popular Dash to Dock extension for the GNOME 3 desktop environment. This time, the developer managed to add support for progress bar and badges for pinned apps to the Ubuntu Dock. Canonical promised to ease the migration from Unity to GNOME for those using any of the currently supported Ubuntu releases, so they’re working with upstream and doing everything in their power to make your stay enjoyable. And we have to admit that Ubuntu Dock is turning out to be quite remarkable.
