02. Installation & Deployment

Before you installThis changes your desktop configuration and installs packages. Run it as your normal user, never with sudo: it asks for sudo only where a step needs it (listed below).The guided installer shows its plan first. Files it would replace are kept unless you approve. Everything it copies, clones or appends to in your home folder is backed up and verified first, and --rollback restores it. Packages, sudo changes and the other commands listed under Impact are not undone.

Nordzy Icon Theme

Note

This project was previously under the ownership of @alvatip, before retiring, and transferring the repository to me. The document below is a verbatim copy of what they had written under their ownership.

Nordzy is a free and open source icon theme for Linux desktops using the Nord color palette from Arctic Ice Studio and based on WhiteSur Icon Theme and Numix Icon Theme
I’ll take requests for which app icons I should put in next. If I get no requests, I take (almost) randomly from the long list of apps. Dark variants are more appropriate for dark desktop environments, while the normal variants are more appropriate for light desktop environments.
If you are using a dark theme with a light panel (or the opposite) you can specify the panel argument which make the panel's color opposite.
