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.

    Thank you for this!

    I always feel ashamed to have to ask how to do what I imagine is pretty elementary stuff for regular Linux users, but now I feel kind of feel dumb for not just asking in the first place.

    customizing the default Plasma Panel (right click on desktop > enter edit mode > add panel) is your best bet nowadays for a similar look

    This will be more than enough for me. I was looking for latte-dock because I thought it was the only way to accomplish that look. I didn’t even think to just add another panel.

      there is no shame in asking question especially if you already put in some effort yourself and mention what you already tried
