You can theme things different ways. That’s true with any desktop environment.

Theme the system how you like it…
Years back I tweaked my Xfce desktop to incorporate the features I then liked of the then Ubuntu Desktop system (Unity 7 at the time)… plus how I want the system to operate. I’m using LXQt now, and I’ve made it look pretty close to how I’d adjusted Xfce from those many years ago.
Some of my displays include panels that are somewhat default in operation; but on the sides of some monitors I have setup a panel to act a little like the GNOME dock (or what was Unity 7 dock initially); the quick launch widget of the LXQt panel allowing me to select apps I regularly. The side-panels (my current setup has 4, one on each of 4 monitors I’m currently using) also differ [partially] in app selection too.
An older (mid 2019) version of what I’m talking about can be viewed here (only 2 monitors back then), and the main limitation I’ve noted with LXQt is that it only allows full edge-of-monitor panels; where Xfce allowed me to configure multiple panels on the edge of a single screen (more flexible; allowing me to use one specific panel to add a largish clock to the corner/edge of a display for example; without resorting to things like conky).
Either way; we can tweak almost every desktop to achieve most of what we want; or by adding extra apps (specialist dock software, or conky I mentioned before etc) get even more; but my setup is using default LXQt features.

** Reduce Visual Effects**
-
Disable GNOME animations:
Install the Impatience GNOME extension to speed up animations.
Or run: -
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations false
* **Disable transparency/overlays**:
* ```
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-hot-corners false
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock transparency-mode 'FIXED'

i did all of these but first couple commands i dont know if they did anything?
thanks for all the help guys really appreciate it.Problems is finding out how… for me i asked once on a forum how to make other evirments look like ubuntu and people got a all pissy at me just use ubuntu then they said.
So i downloaded the flatpak firefox and it is a couple seconds faster then the snap.
should i jump through the hoops and try deb. firefox aswell see if it is even faster?
i think the command to remove animations worked because it shaved off a couple of tenths of seconds but it is not inn of.
can someone help with the zram setup ?
thanks in advance
