On the home screen I would like to display the Dash (circled in yellow below) of the GNOME Desktop Environment, the bar of applications, across the top of the screen instead of down the left side of the screen.
How can I do this?

1This documentation is about GNOME version 3.6. I think it's outdated. – Jeryosh Oct 21 '19 at 21:35

@JenareYoshi Indeed! However, none newer was available at https://www.gnome.org/ and this will illustrate what the OP wants to change from. – K7AAY Oct 21 '19 at 21:52

3Possible duplicate of How do I move Ubuntu dock to bottom on Ubuntu 17.10 and later? See this answer. It would work with a vanilla Ubuntu flavour (version 17.10 and later). It doesn't merge the top bar and the dash, but just moves the dash (and dock) from left to top. – pomsky Oct 22 '19 at 07:32

The Dash-to-panel GNOME Extension does precisely that. Here's one example after it's installed:
Install it and GNOME Tweaks (required to enable it) using the terminal with the command sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt install gnome-tweaks gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-panel
Log out and then back in. Then open Gnome Tweaks
where you will see the extension, and you can enable it there.
