It’s in the eye of the beholder, of course. But it would be great to see some solid recommendations.

    One man’s “basic” things are another man’s clutter …

      So you mean…

      • editing images (in the viewer, screenshot tool)
      • being allowed to customize the UI of any app
      • changing the login screen (gdm) background
      • creating a textfile from the filemanager
      • editing .desktop entries graphically

      ?

      Hahaha, I disagree

        Yea, none of those things matter to me.

        Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had plenty of fun customizing DEs but I don’t really need that on my daily driver. I also have more of a terminal based workflow so perhaps shell customization scratches that itch for me.

        To each their own :)

          This is not about customizing. What app do you use for editing images, or dont you do this at all?

          On GNOME either using Gwenview (KDE) or GIMP, Krita, Kolourpaint, Pinta would work. Which are all very big programs.

            Sometimes I use Drawing for adding some annotations but I mostly just paste directly from the screenshot tool.

            In terms of editing, I work more with SVG where I use a very simple editor BoxySVG.
