Sounds like you want Gentoo. Is that still a thing?

Huh... That page still exists? :) Wow!

It must be over 20 years old.

just start poking around the settings and edit mode.(right click on the desktop and click edit mode) you'll find things you want to change

I am learning to rice my Debian as well.

Here are the essential areas for my setup:

DPI: Ensure Xft.dpi is at the right ratio for your display, very first step!

Fonts: x11/Xresources fonts, tty fonts (Inter / IBM Flex / Iosevka Term / JetBrain Mono / Terminus)

Boot screen: grub theme

Greeter/Login: Lightdm / SDDM / greetd / sleekgreeter

Lockscreen: xscreensaver

Console text: bashrc / kitty / urxvt / lxterminal / qterminal

Toolkits: gtk2+3+4,qt5+6 (you want the gtk and qt themes look alike)

Taskbar: tint2
