Summary

This chapter offered an overview of desktop environment customization, from resource tuning to tools and tips for a clean and minimalistic desktop.

We divided it into tuning and customization. Keeping that in mind, we customized only the taskbar and its components, as well as added the conky system monitor.

Customizing each of the elements of the desktop environment, besides improving the way it looks and feels, allows us to focus on our tasks. It is well known in Linux-based environments, which provide extreme customization of each component, that this task could be endless.

In my experience as a system administrator, not getting distracted by this kind of customization helps me to focus on my daily work.

In the next chapter, we will review the concepts of basic local storage, as well as how to optimize its use.
