-# Customizing Ubuntu
-
-New to Linux and want to add a personal touch to your machine? One of
-the best perks of Linux is that it is **extremely** customizable. You
-can change the styles of the windows, shell (status bars/docks), icons,
-fonts, terminals, and more.
-
-In this post, I'm going to go through customization on Ubuntu 20.04
-(GNOME) since most new users tend to choose Ubuntu-based distros. If
-you've found a way to install Arch with i3-gaps, I'm assuming you know
-how to find more advanced tutorials out there on customizations.
-
-## Required Tools
-
-![Gnome
-Tweaks](https://img.cleberg.net/blog/20200519-customizing-ubuntu/gnome-tweaks-min.png)
-
-Ubuntu 20.04 ships with the default desktop environment
-[Gnome](https://www.gnome.org/), which includes the handy
-`gnome-tweaks` tool to quickly change designs. To install
-this, just open your terminal and enter the following command:
-
-```sh
-sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
-```
-
-After you've finished installing the tool, simply launch the Tweaks
-application, and you'll be able to access the various customization
-options available by default on Ubuntu. You might even like some of the
-pre-installed options.
-
-## GNOME Application Themes
-
-To change the themes applied to applications in GNOME, you will need to
-change the Applications dropdown in the Appearance section of Tweaks. To
-add more themes, you will have to find your preferred theme online and
-follow the steps below to have it show up in the Tweaks tool. While you
-may find themes anywhere, one of the most popular sites for GNOME themes
-is [gnome-look.org](https://www.gnome-look.org/). This website contains
-themes for applications, shells, icons, and cursors.
-
-Steps to import themes into Tweaks:
-
-1.  Download the theme.
-2.  These files are usually compressed (.zip, .tar.gz, .tar.xz), so you
-    will need to extract the contents. This is easiest when opening the
-    file explorer, right-clicking the compressed file, and choosing
-    "Extract here."
-3.  Move the theme folder to `/usr/share/themes/`. You can do
-    so with the following command:
-    `sudo mv theme-folder/ /usr/share/themes/`.
-    -   Icons and cursors will be moved to the
-        `/usr/share/icons/` folder.
-    -   Fonts will be moved to the `/usr/share/fonts/` folder
-        Alternatively, you can move them to the
-        `/usr/share/fonts/opentype/` or
-        `/usr/share/fonts/opentype/` folders, if you have a
-        specific font type.
-4.  Close tweaks if it is open. Re-open Tweaks and your new theme will
-    be available in the Applications dropdown in the Appearance section
-    of Tweaks.
-
-If the theme is not showing up after you've moved it into the themes
-folder, you may have uncompressed the folder into a sub-folder. You can
-check this by entering the theme folder and listing the contents:
-
-```sh
-cd /usr/share/themes/Mojave-Dark && ls -la
-```
-
-This is an example of what the contents of your theme folder should look
-like. If you just see another folder there, you should move that folder
-up into the `/usr/share/themes/` folder.
-
-```sh
-cinnamon  COPYING  gnome-shell  gtk-2.0  gtk-3.0  index.theme  metacity-1  plank  xfwm4
-```
-
-## GNOME Shell Themes
-
-To change the appearance of the title bar, default dock, app menu, and
-other parts of the GNOME shell, you'll need to install the [user
-themes](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/19/user-themes/)
-extension on [Gnome Extensions](https://extensions.gnome.org/). To be
-able to install extensions, you will first need to install the browser
-extension that the website instructs you to. See this screenshot for the
-blue box with a link to the extension.
-
-![Gnome
-Extensions](https://img.cleberg.net/blog/20200519-customizing-ubuntu/gnome-extensions-min.png)
-
-After the browser extension is installed, you will need to install the
-native host connector:
-
-```sh
-sudo apt install chrome-gnome-shell
-```
-
-Finally, you can go the [user
-themes](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/19/user-themes/)
-extension page and click the installation button. This will enable the
-Shell option in Tweaks. Now you can move shell themes to the
-`/usr/share/themes` directory, using the same steps mentioned
-in the previous section, and enable the new theme in Tweaks.
-
-## Icons & Cursors
-
-Icons and cursors are installed exactly the same way, so I'm grouping
-these together in this post. Both of these items will need to follow the
-same process as installing themes, except you will want to move your
-font folders to the `/usr/share/icons/` directory instead.
-
-## Fonts
-
-Fonts are one of the overlooked parts of customization, but a good font
-can make the whole screen look different. For example, I have installed
-the [IBM Plex](https://github.com/IBM/plex/releases) fonts on my system.
-This follows the same process as installing themes, except you will want
-to move your font folders to the `/usr/share/fonts/`
-directory instead.
-
-## Terminal
-
-If you spend a lot of time typing commands, you know how important the
-style and functionality of the terminal is. After spending a lot of time
-using the default GNOME terminal with [unix
-shell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_(Unix_shell)), I decided to
-try some different options. I ended up choosing
-[Terminator](https://terminator-gtk3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) with
-[zsh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_shell).
-
-Terminator is great if you need to open multiple terminals at one time
-by simply right-clicking and splitting the screen into as many terminals
-as you want. While this project hasn't been updated in a while, [it is
-coming under new
-development](https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator/issues/1).
-However, this terminal is great and I haven't experienced any errors
-yet.
-
-For the shell choice, I decided to choose zsh after trying it out on a
-fresh Manjaro installation. Zsh is great if you like to change the
-themes of your terminal, include icons, or add plugins.
-
-The desktop uses the
-[zsh-autosuggestions](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions)
-to suggest past commands as you type. In addition, it suggests
-corrections if you misspell a command. Lastly, it uses the
-`af-magic` theme, which adds dashed lines between commands,
-moving the user@host tag to the right side of the terminal, and changes
-the colors. There are plenty of plugins and themes to choose from. Just
-figure out what you like and add it to your `~/.zshrc` file!
-
-### Steps to Replicate My Terminal
-
-To install zsh on Ubuntu, enter the following command into a terminal:
-
-```sh
-sudo apt install zsh
-```
-
-Then, enter the next command to activate zsh:
-
-```sh
-sudo chsh -s $(which zsh) $(whoami)
-```
-
-To install Terminator on Ubuntu:
-
-```sh
-sudo apt install terminator
-```
-
-To install Oh My Zsh on Ubuntu:
-
-```sh
-sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
-```
-
-To install zsh-autosuggestions via Oh My Zsh:
-
-```sh
-git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
-```
-
-Then, add the following plugin wording to your `~/.zshrc`
-file (the default config usually has the `git` plugin
-activated, so just add any other plugins to the parentheses separated by
-a space):
-
-```sh
-nano ~/.zshrc
-```
-
-```sh
-plugins=(git zsh-autosuggestions)
-```
-
-Finally, you need to log out of your computer and log back in so your
-user shell can refresh.
