I managed to fully replace latte dock/panel with kde built in panels (top & bottom). Pretty happy about this, since latte is not supported anymore.

Yes, I'm on 5.27. I don't know about Latte being deprcated by the original dev, but it still seems to be maintained... there are commits in the last few months in the github repo

Eh how do I uninstall latte-dock after using the installation script?
1 project | /r/kde | 26 Feb 2023

You can tell I'm a beginner lol. I installed latte dock on Kubuntu using the official installation script (https://github.com/KDE/latte-dock/blob/master/INSTALLATION.md). I don't like it so I want to remove it but I have no idea how? If I run sudo apt remove latte-dock it just says latte-dock is not installed. Any idea?

The guy who created latte dock maintains a trio of widgets (https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu, https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-buttons, https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-title) which are just PERFECT for that purpose. They don't require you to run latte, but it helps if you have more than one screen.

I did not know about Active Window Control. The scroll wheel to max/minimize feature is really handy. I am using another simple widget called Window Buttons though. It is not feature rich unlike Active window control but it looks good and serves my basic purpose.
