Basically, I’d like to make desktop mode look and feel a little more like MacOS, and this app is kind of essential. Unfortunately I don’t know anything about what’s happening when it doesn’t install. I’ve set a sudo password, I’ve disabled read-only, I’ve initialized the pacman keys (whatever that means), now it says “unknown trust”…

Is there a straightforward tutorial somewhere on how to do something like this for an absolute beginner? I assumed changing the appearance and layout of my desktop should have been an easy and harmless first step for a Linux noob to try, but I already feel like I’m just smashing my head up against a wall.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Definitely recommend customising plasma per the above advice.

    I’ve done the same thing with my steam deck (with White Sur theme) and it’s flexible enough to get fairly close.

    Until recently I ran a similar setup with latte-dock on my work laptop and but it’s not worth the hassle - it’s buggy and unmaintained, so I swapped back to icon only task manager.
