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.
Great explanation. I’ll add that another option is installing a different OS. I’m using Bazzite, and there’s probably a way to layer a dock app onto that OS, so that it remains after updates.
But I agree that the easiest solution is to just configure a Plasma panel with some widgets, as I’ve done exactly that on other computers.
