Xfce now also has a Dock

Through a German forum of another distribution which I don’t use for a long time I found an interesting news.
For the desktop XFCE4 there is a panel plugin to create a dockbar.
https://docs.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-docklike-plugin/start

However, this PlugIn must still be installed.

The only annoyance. You have to start the application first to attach it to the dock so that it remains as a starter. This should be done directly in the desired order because you can not sort the starters afterwards. At least I haven’t managed to do it yet.

Now I just ask myself; Who has already known about it and did not let me know?
Or, why was I too lazy to look on the page of XFCE again?

Since I didn’t find a category Off-Topic, I post it here.

We have a water cooler category but not here at ask.fedora but on discussion.fedora: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/ → more precisely: The Water Cooler - Fedora Discussion

We have also a social channel in Matrix/IRC where you will regularly find conversations around such topics: https://chat.fedoraproject.org/#/room/#social:fedoraproject.org

Once a week, there is also a special social hour at this Matrix channel:

Join us for Fedora Social Hour every week!

[image] #fedorasocialhour continues every week for the foreseeable future! We’re going to make the matrix channel “home base”, and jump off to games, video chats, VR, whatever, from there. We alternate between an “early” 14:00 UTC time and a “late” 23:00 UTC one. (That’s 10am and 7:00pm US/Eastern. We’ll keep it that way when Daylight Saving Time kicks in in the US.) Usually we meet up in Matrix chat in the Fedora Social room and launch a video call from there. Sometimes we do games or some o…

Of course the credentials you use on ask.fedora can also be used for discussion.fedora and for Matrix. All works with the same Fedora Account System.

Thanks for the links.
Since the SocialChannels over IRC/Matrix or others are nothing for me I find the link to discussion.fedoraproject.org interesting. Whether one reaches there with contributions so many people as here on AskFedora I doubt however.
Maybe I write a few suggestions for improvement in the channel provided.

Absolutely! Having discussions about how to improve is the major goal of discussion.fp

But for now, ask.fp is focused on helping people with their questions and problems, except announcements, site feedback and such.

Looking forward to your thoughts in discussion.fp!
