Bro i just use KDE. Sometimes i tweak it a bit, mostly when i should be doing something else. But i think the defaults are just perfect.
I just want the option to tweak it a bit. I like the fact that if i want to open Dolphin file manager with my buttplug i can probably find a way to do so.
When I have discovered Linux, I did all the ricing with Compiz, until I actually had to get productive …
My UI could be prettier but it is not distractingly bad or ugly. Just changed my wallpaper and that’s probably the only visual customization I’ll do.
Most people just something that works and isn’t cluttered.
I might spend 30 minutes after a distro install getting things right, once I have it set up I don’t tinker with it much.
I do change the background image every now and then.
Customized bling bling PCs are for kids. Like Windows.
Customizing my development setup is enough for me.
I try to choose a distro that looks aesthetically pleasing out of the box so I don’t have to do any of that.
Mac users can’t customize.
Windows users don’t care to customize.
Linux users can customize and choose not to, because its good already.
It was fun for a while. But now I just want a stable system.
Gnome with Dash to Panel and ArcMenu
Good nuf
It’s amazing how much I agree with (almost) every response to this post (so far).
I find it’s just a lot of effort to go through visual customization for very little benefit, I have spent more time creating rootless podman images for certain apps, custom scripts, keybinds etc.
What I mean to say is there’s likely many people who customize functionality of their systems one way or another — without ever touching the visual side of things much beside maybe changing the font or turning dark mode on.
@Sunshine Using stock Ubuntu without touching the look and feel since 08.04, I’m a normie ^^
Not visually, at least. But especially on bare WMs, custom scripts and hotkeys are the way to go.
