# Gnome Program Starter: Dash, Dock or Panel
|
|
|
|
The default program starter on Gnome is called dash and it is a bit strange for users of other operating systems. But there are extensions which provide a move conventional dock like MacOS or a panel like Windows.
|
|
|
|
The dock can be enabled in Hiera with
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
gnome::program_starter: dock
|
|
```
|
|
other valid values are `panel` and `dash`.
|
|
|
|
The dock is default in RHEL9 as the panel currently has a [bug on RHEL9](https://github.com/home-sweet-gnome/dash-to-panel/issues/1891) which limits its usability.
|
|
|
|
Note that this will only set the default configuration which can be changed by the user.
|
|
|
|
To reset the user specific configuration run
|
|
```
|
|
rm ~/.config/dconf/user
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Known Problems
|
|
|
|
### Application Grid
|
|
Applications marked as favorites are not shown in the application grid. This is [expected behavior](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/4115).
|
|
|
|
### Dock
|
|
Favorite apps might not be shown when certain hardware is connected, see [upstream bug](https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/issues/941).
|
|
|
|
### Panel
|
|
Empty application grid on RHEL9, see [upsteam bug](https://github.com/home-sweet-gnome/dash-to-panel/issues/1891).
