From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Your favourite icon pack? (lemmygrad.ml)

I cannot find an icon pack I'd fully like. I used to use Deepin's and even Breeze, but I want something fresh.

My personal wants/needs are:

doesn't overwrite the tux Linux icon (I use it for app menu)
has a Firefox and Steam icons
the Firefox and Steam icons look good
doesn't have broken system app icons
preferably with the OBS icon not being broken
doesn't use Mac/Windows specific logo, e.g. for the settings

I'm currently trying out Papirus, but I'm not fully sold on it.

Yours of course doesn't have to do anything with my preferences.

Mine is White Sur. Colloid and Reversal are good too.

Put your favorite Firefox (and the tux Linux) icon in ~/.local/share/icons/ ? You can't change your menu icon?

Currently using Avalon

I've loved the dark aero look since using WindowBlinds to get dark mode back on Windows Vista & 7.

But it seems like a real niche aesthetic especially nowadays. Though I am glad some styles other than flat design starting to gain popularity again.

I'm trying it right now. It's very nice. I wish it had a custom Firefox icon. I like what "iDark" does, but it has white circle background for all icons which I hate. :(

Dude you can change the Firefox icon to whatever you like it's not a big thing..

Numix Circle. Been using it for years

doesn't overwrite the tux Linux icon (I use it for app menu)

Couldn't you copy the icon file and just direct your app menu to use it?

True. I reckon the themes which did it had other issues, namely they changed system settings to Mac/Windows specific stuff and I don't want to manually set stuff up, because then it's time consuming when I jump themes again. I went through that nightmare on Android and I'm not doing it again.
