Gnome is great. It changes your workflow, and can be really good for someone who uses their keyboard a lot. However, it doesn’t’ give you a lot of options to customize out of the box. I am going to go over how you can change icons, themes, window buttons, and how to utilize extensions to customize your desktop to the max.

    Step 1: Install KDE Plasma.

    …which is only somewhat throwing shade. I genuinely spent like 3 days when I was new to Linux to try to get Cinnamon to work in a way that’s literally just a checkbox on KDE.

    Obviously, GNOME has its strengths that may make it worthwhile to customize, but yeah, unless you know that that’s what you want, it can definitely be easier to just switch to a different desktop environment.
