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!

    Oh awesome. Do Klassy and Kvantum overlap? Seems like they both modify the windows.

    You’re not the first person to mention wobbly Windows. I definitely have to give it a try, sounds fun!

      I’m not 100% sure, there might be a bit of overlap between them but I’ve never personally had any trouble running them side-by-side.

      And yeah I love wobbly windows. I’m so used to them now that if I have to use Windows or something with non-wobbly windows it feels wrong now lol.

      Oh yeah, another one I’ve recently discovered that looks interesting is Quickshell. I haven’t used it much yet though, I made a semi-functional panel with it and that’s as far as I got. But it looks like you can do a lot with it once you get the hang of it.

        Quickshell looks interesting, basically building your own desktop environment. That’s probably the next step after I figure out what customization I want.

        Thanks for the input! Much appreciated
