I’m a recent covert for my daily driver.
I actually liked my Windows setup because it was fast and streamlined.
What I didn’t care for was cutting out bloat every major update and the surprises like “we just copied all of your private keys and documents into our cloud and hid them”
“we just copied all of your private keys and documents into our cloud and hid them”
And then deleted the originals on your computer so that your only copy is in our cloud.
Oops! Your cloud storage is full! Now pay us $25/mo or you will not be able to access your cloud storage.
Its fun. With the power of nixos i always have a safe fallback in case i brake something and need my laptop.
I slightly customized my KDE taskbar by centering it with panel spacers because that was the only thing i liked about Win11. Set it to auto-hide for OLED reasons. I dont remember if the slightly floaty style was standard with my distro or i did it?
Then like two tweaks to dolphin to make it look more like the 'detailed' view in windows explorer which is the only legit way to view files. Everybody else with these giant folders is fucking crazy. Probably the only thing where i'm not open minded.
Uh, yeah thats it. Havent changed anything else in almost two years on two different distros.

Hey, man. Sometimes I'm dealing with images a lot, and it helps to have image thumbnails big enough to see clearly.
(And even the mini-thumbnails inside a folder's thumbnail are visible enough to be helpful, giving me a quick sense of what's in that folder.)

I'm among the few who general use / game on linux in the living room on a TV sitting on the couch at a distance, and I still rather use detailed view lmao. Hard agree.
I like retro computing so I have one computer that has Niri themed like Windows 98, also have Plasma on it themed the same way. then I have another that has Sway themed like the Apple II.
Oh I love those themes, I also sometimes use the 98 one on Plasma and it makes people do a double take.
I've been using Linux since Red Hat Halloween. I don't think I've ever customized a GUI much beyond its standard settings. My CLI though...
That's okay. I don't customize anything to balance it out.
Like all things, it will pass. Still the possibility to go that far is a blessing
It's inside the fracking house!
I just have Niri with Waybar and a consistent color scheme
It doesn't matter if it takes 12 minutes to boot, I spent 12 mf hours making custom icons that match my theme
