I am looking for a distro with a customisable UI. I want the ability to change everything in the UI: like changing the window borders style, animated interface, creating transition animations. Something that can allow me to create UI from my favourite video games. I am even willing to learn a language if needed. Just don’t suggest arch because I’m only interested in visuals. I don’t want to spend time creating and troubleshooting other aspects of os. Also, if above requirements can be achieved with changing the desktop environment, please suggest that too. I am somewhat familiar with Linux as I used it a few years ago for some time. Back then, the games’ support was lacking, so I switched back. But now with steam os and proton’s contribution, games shouldn’t be a hassle to run.
That will depend on the desktop environment you choose, not the distro itself, as you can mostly get the same results in any distro. For instance, idk if you saw pewdiepie’s video, but he was able to create a really cool and fully customized desktop using I think it was Linux Mint or something super basic like that and with very little prior knowledge. You could probably install arch which is now easier thanks to the guided installer and then copy the hyprland configuration from some post in linux porn or somewhere like that as a starting point. Counter intuitively, I found arch easier to use than something more stable like debian because the packages are almost always updated enough to just work, whereas working with older versions can come with compatibility problems, and you don’t really need to use external repos aside from aur. Also the arch wiki rocks
