From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ok, getting Linux setup as Windows enshitiffication continues...I installed Arc Menu and it's almost perfect, but the app categories have mostly themed icons, just a few of them don't. Any way to change these last 5 icons on the far-left side?

EDIT: Solved. Took me longer to figure out than I want to admit, but in my case, those category icons were coming from Zorin OS's built in menu settings. So I launched the "Main Menu" from Arc Menu, which brings up Zorin's menu editor.

Then clicking on "Applications" shows the categories, at which point I could right-click on a category, then "properties" and click on the icon

The system icons are stored at /usr/share/icons -- browse to the right icon, select it and restart gnome (or log out and log back in)...everything is fixed. Hope this helps someone else save a bit of time down the road 🤷

Have you installed the Arc theme icon packs?
