Transparent terminals are fancy and all, but I do too much work in the terminal and when your in the terminal near 100% of the time the transparency really grinds the gears.
It's not only visual downgrade, but usability nonsense. The window title bar is too thin and buttons are too small. If someone uses huge resolution it will be a pain to use. There are other themes like some old ones that come with Mint Mate with similar issue. They were made at the time when 1024x768 resolution was a thing, so the buttons are so freaking small it's dumb. I'm complaining here, but appreciate the fact that we got so many awesome themes and icon packs for free. I'm grateful to all the talented people involved in making great stuff for Linux. I was thinking about designing my own theme and icons for Linux but I wouldn't make anything better that was already done and I'm not familiar with modern graphics tools. 😆
Honestly, I don't see any reason to run plain Ubuntu if you have to customize THIS much just to make it somewhat useable (comfortable). There are thousands of Ubuntu derivatives that customize it for you, or at least make it more customize able without "Gnome Tweaks" and extensions. Just my personal opinion
I love the nord theme, but your setup is incomplete: you should use the nordic icon theme (a papirus variant with nord colors), a proper nordic color scheme for both your terminal and for gedit, and of course you should consider changing default system fonts... something like Inter fits the nordic look so much better. BTW, I'm getting bored by these papirus icons to be honest: they are so flat and boring! I like Yaru icons better, even though I can't get over those grey folders. I wish they kept an option for orange folders instead (eoan style!).
Can you make a video? (or consider it) to have a way to write-out or save all of these customizations. I am sure there are files written out that you could move to a new system. So, once you get all of these changes made, be nice just to know which files to backup, then you drop them on top of a new system. COuld you look into that?
Idk why people like nordic themes… They’re just so dark. Maybe it’s because I live with those colors through the whole winter here in Sweden (a nordic country)…
A huge disadvantage of Dash to dock, it seems to me, is that when you open the main menu, this dock is not hidden, but remains visible. But a side dock appears. As a result, you have two docks. What are they for? And if I like the dock, and not the panel on the left? Dash to dock will draw the second panel on top of the first panel. It looks just awful. I dream about the return of customization from GNOME 2, I especially miss the global menu, it was super convenient for me.
Hi TechHut, I really love your videos they are amazing. I would like to request a video now that you are on Ubuntu. The default file manager of Ubuntu is Nautilus. The problem is that Nautilus, although it looks great and has many functionalities is very slow. So I installed Dolphin, but dolphin doesn't get the gnome theme right. So I would really like if you could make some videos fixing these theme problem or fixing Nautilus speed. Thanks.
You can try going to Nemo which is a fork of Nautilus. The process to make it the default is a bit shit. I can’t give a specific link to instructions on how to do it because I checked like 5 different sites to get it to sort of work
I have tried to start using linux many times. However, everytime I gave up at some point. This time, I gave up because I could not find a decent pdf viewer in linux (using pop os) that would allow annotation and restore previously opened tabs after closing the application.

your tweaks appearance menu is different than mine. There's a 'legacy applications' option instead for me. I'm on fedora, and I extracted the nordic theme to the .themes folder, but it doesn't appear under any options either.
I'm sorry for making this comment because I really like your videos (generally) and you have a great voice! But I think that calling the Ubuntu icon set butt ugly is completely inappropriate. Especially considering is is effort by humans given to you for free. Also what each individual consider beautiful is very subjective. Have a great day ☀️🌈

Hi there. Talking about the subject. Does anyone know how one can make their own icon pack? My favorite icon pack (Yosa Max) hasn't been updated for two years now, and I'd like to see if I can give it a little hand, but I don't know how.
For us, nothing. But when you make videos to present distributions, it shows viewers plenty of information at a glance right when you open a terminal. Handy for presentation purposes thus.

@@mszdn Arch kullanırken birçok sorun yaşamama rağmen kullanması çok keyifliydi, aur olsun, sunduğu kişiselleştirmeler olsun hayran akldığım bi dağıtım. Ancak okul sebepleri yüzünden daha stabil bir dağıtıma geçmem iyi olur diye düşündüm bende.
@@Wabzi Stabilite konusunda haklısın, bleeding edge yazılım kullanmasından kaynaklı, yuvarlanan sürümlerin genel problemi bu. Çok fazla memory leak olan yazılım bir araya gelince stabilite problemli oluyor, aşırı RAM ve CPU kullanımı kaçınılmaz hale geliyor. Ancak donanımı tam anlamıyla kullanma konusunda sunduğu özelleştirmeler (wiki sağolsun) bilgisayarı uçuruyor. Hele ki linux-zen ya da linux-ck kullanırsan yemede yanında yat. Gerçi bu noktada Gentoo'yu tercih ederim ama o kadar paketi emerge'le, özelleştir, config yap; bir yerden sonra harcanan zamana yazık oluyor. Şayet Arch ile sıkıntısız yaşamak istersen, btrfs ve snapshot konusunda araştırmanı tavsiye ederim. Sistem sıkıntı yaptığında Timeshift gibi bir yazılım ile (manuel de yapılabilir elbette) sistemi önceki snapshot'a geri alabilirsin. Ben genelde Btrfs kullanıyorum, ext4 yerine. Gerçek bir stabilite; ram ve CPU kullanımında hatasız akış istiyorsan Debian stabil kullanmanı tavsiye ederim. Güncel yazılım çok olmayabilir ancak stabilitesine hayranım. Ubuntu gibi testing ya da unstable debian kullanımının Archlinux kullanmaktan farkı yok konu stabiliteye gelince 👍.
@@mszdn Baya yazmışsınız çok teşekkür ederim ve geç cevabım için kusura bakmayın :) . Arch kurulumumda, sizin dediğiniz gibi, sıkıntı yaşamamak için btrfs ve timeshift kurulumu yapmıştım, sonradan internet bağlantımla ilgili bir sıkıntı yaşamıştım, önceki snapshot a geri dönmek istediğimde "yalnızca ubuntu tipi dosya şekli destekleniyor" gibi bir hata almıştım.İnternette çok araştırdım ancak sonuç bulamadım. Bu noktada artık bilgisizliğimden dolayıdır diye düşünüyorum. Ubuntu 20.04 lts e geçtim, ara sürümler gibi unstable olacağını zanletmiyorum sonuçta başka birçok dağıtımda tabanda bu dağıtımı kullanıyor. Ama Arch la işim bitmedi ilerde yine karşılacaz onunla :D

Papirus is the ONLY icon theme I use on any distro, generally on Cinnamon. If I run Ubuntu, it's Ubuntu-Cinnamon Remix.
Kora is heavily underrated
Transparent terminals are fancy and all, but I do too much work in the terminal and when your in the terminal near 100% of the time the transparency really grinds the gears.
Personally, I consider nordic to be a visual downgrade from either Adwaita or Yaru.
Yaru is underrated tbh
Yeah. Actually I love Yard. I just change the color for blue with yaru colors because I don't like the reddish default
It's not only visual downgrade, but usability nonsense. The window title bar is too thin and buttons are too small. If someone uses huge resolution it will be a pain to use.

ubuntu dock is actually a fork on dash-to-dock, only the configurations are hidden, but you can still change them via dconf
Thank you very much. I was getting frustrated. Best of success always.
You missed the opportunity to talk about changing the shell to fit with the themes they add. Still an awesome informative video though.
I don't know why I didn't have Ubuntu before, I've been in the Dark ages using Windows all my life.
I like orchis theme with tela icons
I've been using Materia theme for ages. I'll try Nordic out based on this video
