One of my all-time favorite wallpaper finds (LINK: https://wallhaven.cc/w/g8xlxd). The Waybar and Hyprland window borders are color sampled directly from the wallpaper itself. The other color/icon/cursor/terminal themes are listed in the fastfetch output.
Just plain old XFCE with "off the rack" configuration. Just like how this background looks with the Kripton-GTK theme and Gruvbox-Plus-Dark Icons.

My starting point was an old set of JaKoolit dot files. I think the latest can be had here.

Well, here's the Waybar config (some things are commented out as I'm endlessly tweaking it...)
{
//
// Reminder: The last statement in a module block cannot
// be commented out or waybar won't launch.

It's borrows from "Matrial-Black-Cherry, Kora Grey Icons, and "Derp" for the Foot Terminal theme. Also, you can use hyprpicker to sample colors as needed from the wallpaper or wherever.

The thing next to the clock is my own module that launches Gnome-Endeavour task manager on a click and Valent (implementation of KDE Connect) on a right click.
Some of the other custom modules I originally got from JaKoolit but, I may have tweaked some of them a bit as I just kinda used him as a "startiing point". (I've also completely hacked-up the way the clock module works).

Playing with deep reds and greys on Hyprland.

My first real attempt at ricing. Working with Hyprland. Color palette inspiration from Kripton-GTK with Gruvbox-Dark icon set.
Maybe he'll be staying there? They could call it "Mar-a-Uh-Ohh"?
Nah, it's Genesis, she's holding it upside down....
Seems to be working OK for me on FF with Ublock and Privacy Badger running.
I believe LMDE includes the proprietary stuff you might need and, as others have said, Debian 12 is starting to as well.
For a new user who just wants a good OS to start with, Pop_OS is a fine choice. A little surprised you had trouble with Mint identifying your WiFi card but, I see others have posted on it. Mint is typically my go-to recommendation for new Linux users.
I like to use OpenRGB to monitor operating temperature. The CPU fan reads the CPU temp, the window in front of my graphics card reads the GPU temp, and, for now, I have my keyboard reading the NVMe temp (just recently installed the NVMe). My mouse color is set by Piper/libratbag so I know what preset I'm using.
I think my favorite part of this is that "man rm" is probably a lot simpler than feeding this question to an AI bot.
Ahh Facebook....
I work in aviation safety. At one time, this was my work computer's desktop wallpaper...
For those asking, I found the wallpaper at wallhaven.cc. After some searching, was able to find a link...
