My Linux Setup
Github is here, however I do a really poor job updating it.Note that this is not a guide, but just a gallery and description of my setup/rice. Although, I am open to any questions/comments on my discord server.
2023 Update - I no longer use mint! I got a new desktop and laptop and decided to go with Arch on both of them. My theme remains mostly the same but I added some new stuff :) Basic details of my setup

Desktop
Here is a preview of the whole rice :)GTK3
My GTK theme was generated using oomox. My GTK theme was the basis for how I would style the rest of my system. I chose something dark and low in contrast for a theme that was very easy on the eyes while still looking pretty.Certain programs such as nemo have an opacity rule set on them using picom, giving most of my theme a glassy-blurred look against the wallpaper.
The icon theme is Flatery Teal
Terminal
The terminal emulator I use is kitty. I absolutely love kitty from a ricing and productivity standpoint; the built in keyboard-oriented tabs and tiling is a godsend.I am using fish as my main shell. What it lacks in POSIX-compliancy, it makes up for in raw features. Since every aspect of fish is divided into functions, it makes it extremely easy to modify the parts I want without editing a giant config file.
Conky + EWW
My desktop uses conky for a clock and system infoI also have a panel system made with eww widgets.
