I installed plank from the stable ppa;



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:docky-core/stable


But it doesn't open, I tried to open it using the terminal, here is the output:



$plank
[WARN 19:35:57.039545] [Environment:161] XDG_SESSION_CLASS not set in this environment!
[CRITICAL 19:35:57.039626] [AbstractMain:257] Only X11 environments are supported


Also tried another answer here with no results.



I tried Dash to Dock and then realized it's the same as the default dock anyway.



Is there any way to use Plank on ubuntu 17.10, or maybe some other docks? (except cairo-dock, it uses a lot of memory, imo)

The error says that "only X11 environments is supported". So probably you are logged in on Wayland. Log in with Gnome X.org instead and you wil be on X11.
