Hmm, well, "works on my computer" is never a helpful comment but I have a heavily modified panel that I moved to the top with no issues.
I'm using the built-in task manager widget rather than a dock. Maybe that's why?
Mind me asking what distro? And Wayland or X11? Also, which dock?
I'm using Wayland and Fedora (Plasma 6.4) and also had a good experience with NixOS (6.3, also Wayland).
I've been using Nobara for a long time now, before that I was on Debian, before that Kubuntu. I've tried both Wayland and X11 on Nobara until they fully switched to Wayland, they both had issues.
I tried several variations on getting a dock to work, but even organizing the top bar or editing any of the panels at all was causing glitches and crashes. After a certain point I said fuck it and tried Gnome, my problems went away and it only took a few extensions to get it where I wanted. Been more stable since the switch so I haven't been inclined to go back myself.
Hmm, oh well. As long as you found your happy place...
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy it works for you. Linux has something for everyone and that's fantastic.
Once Gnome dispences grilled cheese sandwiches it'll be my true happy place
