Ubuntu contributor and Open Source developer Didier Roche had the pleasure of revealing today the Ubuntu Dock, Canonical's modification of the Dash to Dock extension for the GNOME desktop environment of the upcoming Ubuntu 17.10 operating system.

We gave you a first glimpse of the Ubuntu Dock the other day, and we were wondering if Canonical will place the dock on the left side of the screen or at the bottom. Well, today's revealing confirms that it's on the left, similar to the location of the Unity Launcher in current stable Ubuntu Linux releases.

Canonical's Ubuntu Dock doesn't ship with a settings button like Dash to Dock, but you can use that of Dash to Dock if it's installed on your Ubuntu 17.10 machine. Instead, users will be able to control a few aspects of the Ubuntu Dock via GNOME Control Center's Displays panel.
