Even the 'Waterfox' icon doesn't display properly in the taskbar.

 

Need new icons. :)

Just a couple of modifications, I got bored...

When the mouse doesn't highlight the dock:

When you go and open the application launcher:

The background wallpaper is set to change every 10 seconds, hence the difference between the two screenshots.

That OpenBox? Also, what distro is that?

Looks cool. :D

My fault, forgot to include the Neofetch info:

The Plasma theme is called Gently. The font for the clock is called Decaydence Straight.

Nice one :D

Love Endeavour! Running it myself. Runs flawlessly with Wayland, too.

Wayland is quite the requirement for playing games. I have not had issues with it. For whatever reason, Gnome dies horribly when installed on the Rog Ally, I wanted to use Gnome given that is more... touch friendly, but at the end had to go with KDE. Not bad either to be honest, I'm quite enjoying the hand held experience now. Emulators are way faster than on windows and steam games are a mix of being faster and sometimes being slightly slower. Still, awesome just to be hable to almost entirely ditch windows on my side.

GNOME is better for larger screens then your phone/tablet/Ally. It is good for touch, but it depends on the size.

I personally hate GNOME. But each to their own.
