my current desktop is a modified version of GNOME with a red accent color!! It took a lot to install because I also used Xfce a little bit but I prefer the classic new GNOME.

        Unfortunately you can’t make an Ubuntu system into an Arch based one. Both of these use totally different package managers, but I’ve heard about a distro which lets you use apt (ubuntu, debian), dnf (fedora), pacman (arch) package managers in one place, but haven’t checked it out.

        Try out an encrypted desktop on a VM if you can. Apparently you will need to remember 1 additional password whenever you wish to use that encrypted storage, but it’s totally valid if you need an encryption.

        Creating a DE by yourself sounds like a madman task (especially if it’s not based on an extising one) but I’m rooting for you! You can also help an existing DE on their respected repository.

          thank you so much!! And oh well, I will stay with Ubuntu, I love it, and by the way yes I will develop the desktop environment myself, but it will be developed using only HTML and CSS!! It can be a different type of DE.
