Picom, my configs are on my Github

I suggest sticking to your current desktop environment for a while to become more familiar with a Linux environment before exploring standalone window managers. They require more effort and configuration to customize, which can be challenging for newcomers to Linux. However, if you're still interested, you can find my dotfiles for this on my GitHub. I also found this helpful article and YouTube playlist on installing and configuring BSPWM. Feel free to reach out to me via private message if you decide to try BSPWM or have any questions; I can share my Discord with you.

the original is here but i rounded the corners in Gimp to match the corners of my windows and polybar and that version is here

Basically just pick a distro and use it for 6 months without hopping

Wallpaper

• Cinnamon Theme
• GTK Theme
• Icon Theme
• Cursor Theme

I've tried basically every mainstream-ish distro there is, I just want some outside opinions because I'm bad at picking stuff and I want to stick with something for a while

Also Linux Mint is quite boring imo

It should run perfectly fine, Alpine is made to run on low-end machines and containers

yea

After you install and get to your Xfce desktop just follow these steps

I mainly chose Alpine because of my horrible hardware, I only have 4gb of ram and a Haswell Celeron so I wanted something really light while still being usable. As for what I was using before it was Debian but I have jumped around a lot, Arch, Debian, Fedora, Mint, FreeBSD, etc.

very true it is the icing on top of every UN*X rice :)
