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.

How does this work? Super new
I havent used Ubuntu in a long time but im guessing its a similar process to Debian. Open terminal and type
Go into the extension manager. Click browse and search for and get blur my shell, and User Themes. Go to gnome-look.org and go to the gnome shell section and find a theme you like. Place it in the /.themes folder (located in Home create this folder if needed), then click the gear next to User Themes and select the theme you added.
Make sure you get a gnome theme that is made for your current version of gnome or itll look janky. Blur my shell will take your desktop background and fill in some of the dead space with that. There are other nice extensions too. Lock screen Background, AppIndicator and KstatusNotifierItem Support, Caffeine, Weather O'Clock, are some i use.
Mess around with it a bit and get a feel for it is my suggestion. It should be easily reversible so dont be afraid to try stuff out. (You can turn extensions on/off with a click)
