Installed LXQt Linux yesterday because it was recommended as babby-tier for customizing.That was a fucking lie. It took me forever to figure out the concept of "window manager" and "desktop environment" coming from windows. I spent way too long trying to figure out how to make my windows match my taskbar panel. Then there's the fact that customizing requires some hack job method, where you chain two apps together then set one as an environmental variable. But no one tells you how to make the environmental variable stick after logging out, and when you do figure out it turns out that doesn't work in LXQt because LXQt wants you to change them in the "sessions" app and if you put it in .xprofile it overrides it! HOLY FUCK.

But now that I got the jist of it i'm cooking with gas! Just spent the entire day making literally everything catppuccin. I'm catppuccined out of my mind.

PS: Fuck KDE apps literally never figured out how to theme kate. what a bloated piece of shit that app is. Found mousepad and it's literally god-tier I think I like it better than notepad++ and notepad++ is my holy grail note editor that I've not ever found a replacement for. Those XFCE people seem to be make some quality shit. might install that DE next.

PPS: I will admit LXQt and openbox have a lot of the same logic as windows and transitioning was pretty easy. A lot of the habits carry over, light right-clicking everything for menus. It's growing on me.
