Love the background
That's so cool, how do you personalize it like that?

I've been using Fedora for a month (I just started using Linux a month and a half), and I can't seem to find a way to do it.
- I suggest sticking to your current desktop environment for a while to become more familiar with a Linux environment before exploring standalone window managers. They require more effort and configuration to customize, which can be challenging for newcomers to Linux. However, if you're still interested, you can find my dotfiles for this on my GitHub. I also found this helpful article and YouTube playlist on installing and configuring BSPWM. Feel free to reach out to me via private message if you decide to try BSPWM or have any questions; I can share my Discord with you.

what's a 6 month distro (challenge)?
- Basically just pick a distro and use it for 6 months without hopping
  
  With this level of customization it looks like you're really just doing a package manager challenge though.
Looks so nice! I'd actually use that setup.
- I recommend btops with bspwm for workspace naming.

Can you share that wallpaper? It's awesome
- the original is here but i rounded the corners in Gimp to match the corners of my windows and polybar and that version is here
How did you get the terminal ro be translucent I think it looks great
- Picom, my configs are on my Github
I gave bspwn a try a while back, but never stuck with it. Recently been thinking about giving it another try. Any advice you could give to someone who's primarily been using XFCE for the most part....
