Hey there! So after taking your advice this is the result. Ended up going with the following setup, nothing too over the top:
- OS: Debian 12 - bookworm
- Color Scheme • Everforest - Good vibes!
- Icons • Papyrus
- Terminal • Alacritty
- Desktop • Gnome
- Gnome tweaks and extension for shell theme and dock
- Showoff stuff • cbonsai, catnip (sound visualizer) and ranger (as suggested), still doing the dynamic wallpaper thing but because it’s for KDE Plasma I’ll have to find an alternative or code it myself.
That was a very good explanation! I do like gnome’s simplicity and that’s part of the reason I sticked to it.
