By default, Dock (or apps launcher) in Ubuntu Linux has application icons that are left-aligned or docked on the left of the screen. You can move the dock to the bottom or the right side of the screen if you want. You can also change the size of the dock in Ubuntu Linux. The applications icons on the dock are proportional to the size of the dock. If you increase the icon size, you also increase the size of the dock.
