Guides for getting started? (lemmy.world)

Does anyone have good resources for getting started on these kind of customizations? I've done basic stuff in the past like applying themes to whatever DE came with whatever distro I installed. But I'd like to get started learning to use tiling window managers, custom floating bars, etc.

Look at somebody's setup, check the tooling they use to achieve it (e.g i3+Polybar or Sway+Waybar) and follow their respective tooling's first-setup guides / install guides

From there, familiarize yourself with the way they work and how to configure them.

From there, you're already on a good path.

Whenever you have questions, just ask! :)
