I’ve been using linux for about 6 months now and recently been using arch as my main. I’ve done some customzations like changing fonts, background, keybinds, etc. But I really want to actually customize like the behaviour of apps, cool animations.

Are there any links, videos, post or anything that is beginner friendly of ricing Linux?

Edit: I use Gnome for now

    I never use one, useless fluff/hype, I use a wm.

    Near double the size and resources for having a dock/bar/menu and pinning icons on the background … too much clutter for things hiding behind whatever you are doing most of the time.

    A desktop is something you use to impress someone using mac/msWin …

      and a WM is something you use to impress someone who doesn’t only use a WM

      Your reasoning is understandable if itching out every mb of RAM space is a high priority, but fortunately hardware has improved well enough to use more bloated systems (not windows levels) for easier daily use.

      Desktop resources are not above 1% of my system use. Wm is annoying because I’d have to use the keyboard for everything.

      You know I’ve heard a lot of people say that. And i tested it with bspwm, sure I was saving some ram but when you add all the applets, compositor, bar and notification daemons and all the configs it adds up to the same amount of ram being used as sometching like KDE. I didn’t notice a lot of difference other that more time being spent on configuring the wm than using it. It was fun tho.
