Ubuntu’s desktop environment customization is really a fun process. When I first started using GNOME, I struggled with adjusting window behaviors, but now I’ve gotten pretty used to it. For themes, I use the "GNOME Tweaks" tool—it lets you easily switch up themes and desktop icons. Plus, you can tweak window behaviors too, like making the scrollbar appear automatically when you click a window.
There are also extensions like "Dash to Panel" that help make the desktop more efficient. For example, I removed the dock on the left and consolidated everything into the panel, giving me a cleaner look. For desktop icons, the "Desktop Icons NG" extension does the job. If you're looking for a different desktop experience, you might want to check out alternative desktop environments like LXQt or KDE Plasma.
