I’ve been using linux for about 6 months now and recently been using arch as my main. I’ve done some customzations like changing fonts, background, keybinds, etc. But I really want to actually customize like the behaviour of apps, cool animations.
Are there any links, videos, post or anything that is beginner friendly of ricing Linux?
Edit: I use Gnome for now
You know I’ve heard a lot of people say that. And i tested it with bspwm, sure I was saving some ram but when you add all the applets, compositor, bar and notification daemons and all the configs it adds up to the same amount of ram being used as sometching like KDE. I didn’t notice a lot of difference other that more time being spent on configuring the wm than using it. It was fun tho.

Openbox beats them all in my ratio between utility/resources, then comes jwm. For lighter fun factor vtwm as as minimal as I’d like to go.
AwesomeWM seems to be very popular.
Tiling wm is a whole different game (jwm is both), for people who can see well enough to work on 4-6 windows side by side. Maybe writers/translators who like to work on 2-3 documents side by side can see this working for them.
The difference is not ultimately the absolute size of the process running as wm but the requirements from the system to support things. Primarily dbus/logind/seatd root/user layers are optional on most WMs on most distros.
With a DE it is almost a locked dependency to have those. I like to work without “spyware” in which most linuxers disagree and trust large corporations blindly. The same people who say telemetry is something we need, it is a “feature”.
