And this quick tutorial is going to show you how to move the Left Launcher to bottom in Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety.

1. Open Ubuntu Software, search for and install Unity Tweak Tool, a configuration tool for the Unity Desktop.

2. Once installed, launch Unity Tweak Tool and click Launcher, the first icon, to go to its configuration page.

Under Appearance settings, choose Bottom for the position, and the Unity Launcher position changes immediately.
