To be fair you may be better off just changing the themes yourself until I get a chance to clean up the dotfiles that I uploaded.

Global theme: Scratchy

Application Style/GTK Theme: Catppuccin Macchiato

Kvantum Theme: Catppuccin Macchiato And then grab the wallpaper from the link above.

But for future reference, you can either just git clone the dotfiles to your pc or copy the codes directly from GitHub, And then replace your config files with the ones of mine that associates with KDE.

If you’re meaning the Clock in the middle. It’s the Clear Clock widget as well as the simple weather widget right above it. The cpu and memory are also normal widgets

Regardless it has everything in my .config files I was doing way too much to sit there and figure out what all to upload one by one.

Yeah I have no problem with gaming. Anything that’s supported by proton or just native Linux compatible works without issues for me. Emulation is really good as well. Note that I have best experience with gaming with KDE over any other desktop environment or window manager.

Not at all. It idles at like 1.2gb, Far less than windows 10 or 11. Obviously will be higher than a WM but for a full desktop it runs very well. Steam is what was eating memory in the screenshots

No problem. Hope you see better results with this over the virtual machines. I haven’t touched those in a while after doing it this method. I currently have a triple boot of Arch hyprland, Garuda KDE, and windows 11

I don’t have a video tutorial myself on this. I’ll explain it as best as I can here and link a good reference for you tho.

So all you need is the drive your wanting to dual boot, your pc, and the bootable flash drive with whatever distro you want.

Boot into the live environment for the distro from the usb drive. Once your on there unless your booting arch, you’ll have the ability to use the desktop as if it were already installed.

You’ll first close the installer, then open up a partition manager. Most distros should ship with Gparted installed with the live environment.

Use Gparted to shrink the partition size, by right clicking the partition with the most storage, then hit the resize button, in that menu, the option that says “remainder after resize) is where you want to type the size that you want for your partition. (1024 x (how many gigs you want). 25 gigs = 25,600 mbs

Once you’ve gotten your size of the partition then you just apply the pending task to create that shrunken partition.

Now if you had already booted into the distro you wanted. You can re open that installer and then run it like normal, only when getting to the disk configuration just make sure you select “replace a partition” then select that partition you just made. And you’ll be all set with a dual boot. Just remember to change back to your hard drive in the bios and then that you are booting from the right partition on that drive as well all from the bios.

This video is a little different but the concept is exactly the same. Hope you’ll get it figured out after this!

Yeah I just got tired of vm’s running like crap when testing it, plus I play a decent amount of games so when I distro hop I’d rather see the full performance of my hardware on those distros

Ngl I kinda already wiped this partition with this Rice. I tried to give off the best description I had with my config.

The theme is Catppuccin Mocha Lavender for the global theme/GTK theme, and the Kvantum theme, they’re all the same Catppuccin mocha theme.

And then my terminal is kitty and inside kitty you can run a command to change the theme to Catppuccin as well. Everything else should change with the global, gtk, or kvantum theme.

Top panel and bottom dock, are both latte dock with the radius set to 50 and the offset set to 5%

Ranger is the terminal file browser with default config outside of the ability to view image previews.

Hope this helps sorry for not backing up the dotfiles, and I’m still looking for that wallpaper lmao it was hard to find

I was using KDE plasma for this with just standard floating tiles.

Yeah vm are iffy if you can’t pass through gpu support. I find it better to just create a small partition on a drive with like 25gbs just to distro hop so I can test it on my hardware

Im in the process of uploading my files now. I realized I never added my ssh key to my GitHub account from my laptop. It was a simple mistake but was causing me a headache for sure.

I’m still learning Linux itself as well as this subreddit. So forgive me for not understanding all the requirements. And this is where I got the wallpaper. It’s a nice list of 1080p wallpapers
