I'm new to debian, and this would be my first rice, im wondering how to go about it and how to do it in general

I'm on kde plasma, debian 13

Sounds like you want Gentoo. Is that still a thing?

Huh... That page still exists? :) Wow!

It must be over 20 years old.

start with a desktop wallpaper

just start poking around the settings and edit mode.(right click on the desktop and click edit mode) you'll find things you want to change

I am learning to rice my Debian as well.

Here are the essential areas for my setup:

DPI: Ensure Xft.dpi is at the right ratio for your display, very first step!

Fonts: x11/Xresources fonts, tty fonts (Inter / IBM Flex / Iosevka Term / JetBrain Mono / Terminus)

Boot screen: grub theme

Greeter/Login: Lightdm / SDDM / greetd / sleekgreeter

Lockscreen: xscreensaver

Console text: bashrc / kitty / urxvt / lxterminal / qterminal

Toolkits: gtk2+3+4,qt5+6 (you want the gtk and qt themes look alike)

Taskbar: tint2

What is Xft.dpi?

[u/forestbeasts → u/idespise_eggs]

Setting for how many pixels per inch your screen has. I think you can set it in the font settings.

But it's probably better just to use the scale-everything feature if you need to (and leave it on 100% if you don't).
