I am looking for a distro with a customisable UI. I want the ability to change everything in the UI: like changing the window borders style, animated interface, creating transition animations. Something that can allow me to create UI from my favourite video games. I am even willing to learn a language if needed. Just don’t suggest arch because I’m only interested in visuals. I don’t want to spend time creating and troubleshooting other aspects of os. Also, if above requirements can be achieved with changing the desktop environment, please suggest that too. I am somewhat familiar with Linux as I used it a few years ago for some time. Back then, the games’ support was lacking, so I switched back. But now with steam os and proton’s contribution, games shouldn’t be a hassle to run.
Thanks for the insight. I don’t know what dotfile is, so I’ll definitely check it out. I’m starting to realise I’m probably expecting more than what might be possible for now.
Dotfiles are files whose name starts with a dot. Configuration files are called dotfiles because they used to start like that and litter your home directory. These days configuration files tend to live under the .config folder. The name has stuck though.
Linux is super configurable! You’ll just need to try out a bunch of different window managers, taskbars, etc to see which one you like best, but maybe look for some videos to preview a couple first.
