One of the strengths of the open source world is its inherent ability to be customised. I think that’s a real attraction for users that grew up using computers pre-2000s, while the locked-down nature of modern devices, Windows and macOS forces anyone that wants to tinker in depth – or just learn how systems works – naturally towards open source operating systems.
Even on the most superficial level having total choice about how your desktop looks and works is key for many Linux users. Just look at the Gnome Wars and how impassioned people get about fundamental changes to desktop design! As we have a fresh release of Linux Mint with its custom Cinnamon desktop, we thought it was high time we took a deep look at desktop customisation.
We’ll dive into getting the most from Linux Mint, tweak its Cinnamon desktop to death, then look at how you can swing other cool desktop options into action. Of course this will work with almost all distros, so you can customise to your heart’s content.
Elsewhere we look at low-cost virtual private servers, see if GIMP is still the best paint package out there, get more from Steam gaming, and build a pinhole Pi camera. We also have some cool coding guides and loads more fun stuff, so enjoy!
