All of this ricing looks amazing, I am just overwhelmed by the sheer number of everything. Where is it recommended that I start? Right now I have GNOME on Debian 12 (I hate it)

  • Ricing Gnome is both easier and harder than what you see here.

    Gnome is very limiting in terms of customization - compared to other DE / WM atleast. That means lesser people actually make cool projects / designs for GNOME, that limits your selection.

    But then GNOME is actually quite straight forward when you find something. You can just google GTK4 themes and you should find something on https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=135

    Other than that you might start to browse all the extensions. There are many that will alter your layout, give you additional bar, widgets

    I’d think about it at a high level and then get more granular. What are your favorite riced screenshots? What parts of them particularly appeal to you? On the other hand, are there things about your setup that bother you? Then, take what you like and don’t like and let that guide you in customization.

    I am pretty opinionated, so I care about changing little things. Examples of little things I tweaked when installing KDE recently:

    • made the digital clock display on one line instead of two
    • removed blur from lockscreen
    • hid user info + switch user options from lockscreen

    For me the rest of the visual adjustments came from picking color schemes, fonts, icons, and wallpapers I like.
