I’ve distro hopped quite a bit over the last few years. I’ve realized recently that I tend to gravitate toward KDE Plasma as a desktop environment, but I don’t take advantage of the customization as much as I could.
As I sit here looking through the KDE Plasma settings I’m curious to hear what are some favorite things to change in any DE. Please share what you like to do when you get a vanilla install. Do you have a favorite icon pack? Do you have a favorite theme? Any particular widgets that you would recommend?
I’m sure there is more out there than I can think of. Please share!
Edit: I can’t respond to everyone, but this is a great discussion. So many good suggestions and ideas. Keep them coming!
Capslock as control is life changing
Capslock as control when held, esc when tapped. Best change I’ve ever made on a laptop for using vim keybinds
I use right alt for escape
Capslock as control and emacs keybindings in gnome
What do you use for capslock? Or do you just use shift??
If I need to type all caps I just hold shift. Having control right on your pinky is so much more useful. I never miss capslock
