All of this ricing looks amazing, I am just overwhelmed by the sheer number of everything. Where is it recommended that I start? Right now I have GNOME on Debian 12 (I hate it)

Ricing Gnome is both easier and harder than what you see here.

Gnome is very limiting in terms of customization - compared to other DE / WM atleast. That means lesser people actually make cool projects / designs for GNOME, that limits your selection.

But then GNOME is actually quite straight forward when you find something. You can just google GTK4 themes and you should find something on https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=135

Other than that you might start to browse all the extensions. There are many that will alter your layout, give you additional bar, widgets

Oh Im hoping to get rid of GNOME, I hate everything about it.

try out KDE :-)

[–] MaiaKe@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Thanks I'll check it out. Are there applications to help customization, or do I need to use terminal??

[–] azezeB@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

You can do most of the customization in the default KDE settings. It's fairly easy.

there are a few applications out there, don't know their names. Just google GTK4 theming. Look into youtube aswell.

Terminal is not needed here, no

A lot of people upload their dotfiles when it comes to WMs. Just look up dotfiles on github or usually github dotfiles are posted on unixporn, here's mine for example: https://github.com/Maniacsan/dotfiles

[–] MaiaKe@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

So I can use this dotfiles with most WM's?

[–] ccunix@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Be more specific.

There are many options from Awesome and i3, through Sway or Wayfire, via XFCE or E17 all the way to KDE or Gnome.

What do you actually want?
