I’ve distro hopped quite a bit over the last few years. I’ve realized recently that I tend to gravitate toward KDE Plasma as a desktop environment, but I don’t take advantage of the customization as much as I could.
As I sit here looking through the KDE Plasma settings I’m curious to hear what are some favorite things to change in any DE. Please share what you like to do when you get a vanilla install. Do you have a favorite icon pack? Do you have a favorite theme? Any particular widgets that you would recommend?
I’m sure there is more out there than I can think of. Please share!
Setting Caps Lock as the Hyper modifier key.
Setting a keyboard layout that is comfortable for both typing programming symbols and the own language (I use UK international). Consistency is king here.
And configuring the compose key.
Otherwise, I don’t customize much, I think of it as a time sink.
What do you use your compose key for? I never feel a need for it
