Hi,
Crystal Dock v2.5 is out now!
What it is: Crystal Dock is a cool dock (desktop panel) for Linux desktop, with the focus on attractive user interface, being simple and easy to use, and cross-desktop support.
The current version (version 2.x) supports KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland. Other desktop environments will be considered when they run on Wayland and provide sufficient APIs.
Change log:
New features:
- Added a new Flat 2D style: The user can easily switches between the existing Glass 3D style and the new Flat 2D style from the Panel Settings context menu
- Task indicator: now shows the number of windows for each application as 1, 2, 3 or 4+
Other changes:
- Added more error messages when an application cannot be pinned

Is a dock just a (visually floating) taskbar locked to the bottom edge, or am I missing some nuance?

Well it's a dock, so basically an icon-based taskbar.

That was my question - it looks the same as every windows taskbar, just centered and "floating".

It's all about the look - One prefers a taskbar or another mainly due to the look :)

Fair enough!
I have been very happily using an ultra wide monitor, so a left-side vertical taskbar has been the most comfortable for me.
