Any dock recommendations (EOS Budgie)?

love Budgie EOS on this old laptop I’ve repurposed. It’s working for me.

EOS Budgie is 10.10x - Wayland now, ergo no more Plank.

Can’t say the Budgie Icon Task List has grown on me in the tray…

MY DOCK DESIRE:: No kde packages

Is Cairo worth a hoot?

GITHUB: most wayland docks made by enthusiasts have DE-dependent conditions (hyperland, sway, kde,etc). Other’s have WLR something or other WMs condition. Others were tested in a restrictive cocoon with no guarantees (of course);

Seems like a crapshoot. with the specific-circumstances at Github.

yay -Ss dock is 90% dockers not docks.

Any ideas? And thank you.

Plank can be run under xwayland which provides X11 compatibility layer:

env XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 GDK_BACKEND=x11 plank

This was tried under GNOME 50, Wayland only with xwayland. Working confirmed.

just stick that in the terminal and hit enter?

Yes.

If that works for you, which I believe it should (Budgie is more or less GNOME/mutter under the hood), then you can add it to the startup for it to launch when you log in to the desktop.

I’ve probably missed the point. Create a panel of your own and right click any application to make it permanent / favorite. Dock mode can be set as well.
