New Linux user here. Just installed Xubuntu. What themes, Icon

I prefer the stock Mint Xfce look, they modded it pretty nice from the factory.

Numix icons, Arc darker theme, compton compositor if you have 4GB+ of RAM

Also, Numix Circle if that's your thing

Gnome Colors set if you like traditional icons. It has a set for blue, green, red, purple, etc.

I really like Ambiance Blackout Flat with Compiz myself, but ABF is broken at the moment and doesn't load right in 15.10, so I use Numix icons and theme at the moment.

hey make sure you get infinality, makes a huge difference

sudo apt-get install i3

Guaranteed great results.

Also, be sure to crank up the font hinting. Your eyes will love you for it.

I'm sure OP is not interesting is spending 5 hours editing ~/.i3/conf to get a semi-usable desktop

xfce is fucking ugly, how are you degenerate niggers not overcome with disgust every time it enters your view?

Numix Circle+Numix theme is the fastest way to turn your boring DE into a superstar. It's overused as fuck but it works.

Eh?
Ugly?
Maybe by immediate default, but 20 seconds of tweaks makes it great.

Cinnamon or MATE are the best desktops. Everything else looks like a damn phone.

>>52533759
sure beats every other major DE
