This article mainly introduces how to use KDE Plasma to customize the Linux desktop, the article is very detailed, has a certain reference value, interested friends must read it!

KDE Desktop Tour

At first glance, the KDE Plasma desktop is relatively boring, but comfortable. It has an industry-standard layout: a pop-up application menu in the lower left corner, a taskbar in the middle and a system tray on the right. This is exactly what you expect from a standard home or business computer.

But what makes KDE different is that you can change almost anything you want. The Qt toolkit can be split and rearranged in an amazing way, which means that you can essentially use KDE parts as a basis for designing your own desktop. There are also many settings available for desktop behavior. KDE can act as a standard desktop, a tiled window manager, and anything in between. You can create your own window rules through window classes, roles, types, titles, or any combination of them, so if you want the behavior of a particular application to be different from other behaviors, you can create exceptions to global settings.

In addition, it has a rich collection of widgets that allow you to customize the way you interact with the desktop. It has a GNOME-like full-screen app launcher, a Unity-like dock launcher and an icon-only taskbar, and a traditional taskbar. You can create and place panels on any edge of the screen.

A slightly customized KDE desktop

In fact, it has too many customizations, so one of the most common criticisms of KDE is that it is too customizable, so keep in mind that customizations are optional. You can use the Plasma desktop in the default configuration and make gradual changes only if you think it is necessary. The most important thing about Plasma desktop configuration options is not their number, but that they are easy to find and intuitive, and they are all in the system setup application or right-click.

The truth is that on KDE, there is almost never only one way to accomplish any given task, and its users see this as their greatest advantage. There is no implicit workflow in KDE, only the default. And you can change all the default settings until what you need your desktop to do becomes your habit.

Consistency and integration

The KDE community prides itself on consistency and integration, which is made possible by excellent developers, community management, and KDE libraries. KDE developers are not just desktop developers. They provide an amazing collection of applications, each created using KDE libraries that extend and standardize common Qt widgets. After a few months of using KDE, whether it's opening DigiKam for photo management, opening Kmail to check email, opening KTorrent to get the latest ISO, or using Dolphin to manage files, your muscle memory will take you directly to the corresponding UI before you think.
