AI assistant fixes GNOME dock broken by major update in about an hour
Moarkush · reddit · 2026-10-11
The author's Dash2Dock Lite GNOME extension broke after a major GNOME update (the extension author is typically a week or two behind on updates). After running pacman for the first time in weeks, he handed the problem to an AI assistant via what he calls the "DeepSeek Harness," and claims the dock was back within about an hour. A plain-user case of AI coding assistants handling real desktop compatibility issues.
