It appears that with 22.04, the dash can only display ALL apps. It was previously possible to display RECENTLY USED. Is this option still available?

This option has disappeared. In revenge, the application overview now is fully customizable via drag-and-drop: you place your few most frequent apps on the Dash (and they do not anymore appear elsewhere in the Application overview then), your other most important apps on top of the first screen, and you group your utilities etc. like you want.

This gives an application overview which remains static, which is yours, so where you get to quickly find that application because you learn to know where it is.

  • Thanks @vanadium. I'm back on 20.04 for the present, but I will return to this shortly. – Pansmanser Jun 05 '22 at 20:26
  • Got this now, @vanadium. Thanks. – Pansmanser Jun 11 '22 at 17:27
  • This answer does not explain how these actions are actually done. How do you place important apps "on top of the first screen"? How do you "group your utilities etc. like you want"? There is nothing on the screen in question that indicates how this is done. Please expand your answer with these instructions i.e. not just what can be done but how it can be done. Thanks. – authentictech Feb 07 '25 at 12:55
  • @authentictech Note this here is a Q&A site. An answer should answer a question, nothing more. Basic usage instructions are in the documentation, or, otherwise, could be specifically asked as a question (if not too trivial). Try drag and drop! – vanadium Feb 09 '25 at 17:28
  • @vanadium. Fair enough. I will remove the downvote but it's locked unless the answer is edited. Perhaps just add a bit about drag and drop. I can then remove the downvote. – authentictech Feb 25 '25 at 12:24
