A Linux dockbar with tons of applets and support for x11 and Wayland. Works on Gnome and KDE. I always wanted to write one as I have been involved with several open source ones, but it is a lot of time to go from scratch. I use it everyday, and I am enjoying it so much!

Been using Linux as sole OS for 25 years now. I will stick to X11 no problems, I am sure it will be just fine for my usage. When we thought Gnome 2 was gone, MATE fork appeared, X11 will be there for a long time. I am also going through the struggle of porting a software I maintain (github.com/edumucelli/docking) to Wayland and it is awful: "this compositor do this part, that one does that part, no compositor does this :shrug".

Very heavy indeed, people will confuse the durability that Temporal provide with all the other properties a distributed system needs. They will then think that Temporal will solve all their problems.

Fast, customizable, and extensible dock application -- fully written in Python, with built-in applets and full Linux desktop integration.

Tested today, most of it works using XWayland. Some applets won't like windows killer as it uses xkill, also some feature like window preview as Wayland do not give access to other screens, but also features like having the dock follow the mouse across different monitors.

I have a tentative fix on the way https://github.com/edumucelli/docking/commit/7ddcdeae42e8277... -- the deb file will be arch specific now as well

The rocket docking into a base was the meaning, regardless of the other usages :-)

I do not have a bar that I can put everything I want, so I created it, as many other developers have created a dock bar, just like MacOS has its own, etc, et.

Haha, I am not native speaker as you can imagine. The idea here is more of a space ship/rocket docking into a base.

To be honest, I am not sure, I will be working on those as the next big thing for Docking. I am uncertain of how much I can achieve on Wayland. Looking forward.

Yes, indeed. The next I will be working with is Wayland. Let's see how hard that will be. I am sure there will be applet that I will never be able to port like Window killer that users xkill, etc.

Hi HN,

I’ve been having a lot of fun building Docking, an open-source dock for Linux written in Python with GTK 3 and Cairo. It includes an extensible applet system, 38 built-in applets, 12 themes, multi-monitor support, auto-hide, and works across several Linux/X11 desktop environments.

It also has prebuilt releases for x64 and arm64 across multiple package formats: AppImage, .deb, RPM, Flatpak, Snap, Arch, and Nix outputs.

GitHub: https://github.com/edumucelli/docking

Feedback is very welcome!

That is simply not true! Use of mechanical farming and fertilizers/pesticides can be beaten in productivity by permacultural practices. One example in France that has been followed by researches (and has produced several papers [1]) is the Ferme du Bec.

It is able to produce multiple times more and more qualitative (organic), for the same area than the national average mechanized production in France.

The pesticide industry and mega farmers want you to believe that what they are doing is to produce more food, but that does not stand the fact check of initiatives like permacultural ones.

It is laughable talk about "Don't Repeat Yourself principle" on a strongly biased towards Golang article. A language that took 13 years to add a simple method (Index) that helped the programmer to find an element in an array (slice). Before that you had to write a for loop every time you wanted something from an array. Talk about "DRY" ... That is everything but "simple" as described in the article.
