I've distro hopped quite a bit over the last few years. I've realized recently that I tend to gravitate toward KDE Plasma as a desktop environment, but I don't take advantage of the customization as much as I could.

As I sit here looking through the KDE Plasma settings I'm curious to hear what are some favorite things to change in any DE. Please share what you like to do when you get a vanilla install. Do you have a favorite icon pack? Do you have a favorite theme? Any particular widgets that you would recommend?

I'm sure there is more out there than I can think of. Please share!

Edit: I can't respond to everyone, but this is a great discussion. So many good suggestions and ideas. Keep them coming!

Kind of a small thing, but I use an Ultrawide monitor with Sway, so I wrote a oneliner to swap to a higher or lower display scale depending on the workspace I'm on. I like to game in full rez while I'd write code or read with a HiDPI resolution that's easier to squint at. Also adding hotkeys to change scaling on demand is nice
