I was mainly asking for directions to a guide. I’m more tech literate than most but still not very so all the links to 8 different GitHub pages get confusing and I don’t know how to implement it all
I’m only just now understand that the brackets at the beginning of every post are referring to the specific desktop environment
The easiest point to jump on is KDE-Plasma, look it up, it is a complete DE that is very customisable and it is all doable through a GUI - themes, widgets etc its all baked in. You can do a lot of customisation in plasma fairly simply, that might even be enough for you, you can really do a lot in plasma and you don’t need to know much besides getting it installed on your system.
From there, if you want to touch something a bit more complicated you could install some window manager to use alongside it and just fiddle with that, look at the configs, understand how that works, try to build your own thing from the ground up, or just copy someones dotfiles here.
E: To clarify, if you use a display manager like SDDM it will let you select the DE or WM on login.
If you’re using kde as your desktop environment I’d look at themes using kvantum Manager. You can also mix and match other themes through the default app store or whatever they call it
The GitHub pages usually have information about how to install stuff. There are also YouTube videos and articles online you can easily find with a quick google search about this. Use your brain
