    I want a Gnome extension for Ubuntu that makes the open apps on the taskbar be...

    like in Windows 10 when app names are shown in addition to their icon on the side, with the names and icon being small optionally, there's a Gnome extension I used before that shows the icons and names of the open apps as a bar on the bottom of the screen in addition to the default taskbar on the left side of the screen, I want please like it on the side (left or right), instead of the original default taskbar. This can greatly enhance Ubuntu and the productivity of its users... Kubuntu has this but I want it also for Ubuntu with an extension, I'm a super user in Windows but almost a dummy in Linux. I want to use Ubuntu as it has an automatic Google Drive easily, while in Kubuntu it's a mess to make it as I understood from a trial once. Also, Ubuntu has the most users and the most support online.

    I think yes, I want something like it but on the left/right side not on the bottom of the screen, I can't use Ubuntu like this and I don't update to Windows 11 from Windows 10 because I want the taskbar on the right side of the screen(as opposed to left) not on the bottom/top of the screen. The vertical length is more important than the horizontal length because the screen is already a wide screen.

    Have a look at the options/settings for Dash to Panel.
    You can position it Top, Bottom, Left or Right

    After setting the "Ungroup applications" to true in "Behavior" in "Dash To Panel" settings as Gemini told me, I now see the names of the apps and even with the top panel hidden (I can show it also in settings, but I prefer it hidden like in Windows 10)

    Works like magic, cheers for humankind.

    Thanks.
