I feel like I’m an average person, and making the OS look nice is very high on my wish list. My day 1 task on a new system is to copy over my backgrounds, set up themes and colours, set up the right level of transparency.

I’m only half annoyed that I did all that on bazzite before I discovered I couldn’t stand an immutable system
