Hi everyone, Since it is a ubuntu/fedora thread, I wanted to ask one thing , as the author has suggested that we can make changes in GNOME UI, my quesiton is , how can I make changes and build them locally to see the change, I am very beginner but I know C++, python and has worked on multiple projects. I wanted to make some changes in the UI and wanted to add some custom command utility , but I am not sure how to build it and see the changes locally. Could someone please guide me, I will be obliged from the insight and will definietly help me to start with open source contribution journey Thanks

If you want a desktop that you can customise yourself, don't use GNOME. It is singularly hard to modify, and the official way is by writing extensions in Javascript, which is a very hard way. There are lots of extensions to play with on https://extensions.gnome.org https://extensions.gnome.org but watch out -- your desktop will break the next time you upgrade your distro. If you want a user-modifiable desktop, try KDE or Xfce. Personally I much prefer Xfce: it's smaller, faster, and easier, IMHO. Just install Kubuntu or Xubuntu, and enjoy.
