Does anyone have good resources for getting started on these kind of customizations? I’ve done basic stuff in the past like applying themes to whatever DE came with whatever distro I installed. But I’d like to get started learning to use tiling window managers, custom floating bars, etc.
What started me down the rabbit hole was literally where someone mentioned i3 vs Wayland and sway. Then I was just reading a lot of unixporn threads and looking at dotfiles
Look at somebody’s setup, check the tooling they use to achieve it (e.g i3+Polybar or Sway+Waybar) and follow their respective tooling’s first-setup guides / install guides
From there, familiarize yourself with the way they work and how to configure them.
From there, you’re already on a good path.
Whenever you have questions, just ask! :)
