I’ve been using linux for about 6 months now and recently been using arch as my main. I’ve done some customzations like changing fonts, background, keybinds, etc. But I really want to actually customize like the behaviour of apps, cool animations.
Are there any links, videos, post or anything that is beginner friendly of ricing Linux?
Edit: I use Gnome for now
Personally I hate tiling, I just want those cool closing and opening animations
If you use KDE, look for the “TV Glitch [burn-my-windows]” opening and closing animation. It’s a default setting in the KDE Settings > Workspace behavior > Desktop effects > Window open/close animation section. It’s really good in my opinion, especially if you tinker with the open/close timing to make it a little more crisp.
I hated tiling too, everything was constantly changed however, but not what I thought about convenience, before I met PaperWM (gnome extension) and it seems to be exactly what I needed. Using it for 2 weeks and I love it.
I believe in hybrid models. Sometimes tiling is really nice, but what I really want is a better and customizable snap window management.
KDE has your back. You .mostly use regular windows but with meta+T you can configure tiles that can be used to snap windows to them using shift when dragging a window
Might have to try that out. Since installing Linux I’ve mostly run Gnome and I like it a lot so far.
I’ve only started out with Linux a few weeks ago and I liked gnome for the few weeks I’ve used it, but I’m liking KDE much more than gnome so far.
Oh I love that manual titling thingy. I wish I could save my window setups tho. Also an automatic tile option too.
