Icons everywhere !!! 🤪

Icons, those tiny visual symbols that fill our screens are more than just decorations. They’re the cornerstones of user interfaces, the shortcuts that turn complex actions into a simple click. Whether you’re a gamer, developer, or passionate tinkerer, icons are here to make your life easier.

Picture your desktop without the trash bin icon: how would you delete that 40GB file you regret downloading? Or your game launcher without the icons of your favorite titles finding Elden Ring in a text-only list? Unthinkable.

Icons are also a playground for customization. You can skin your OS with cyberpunk, retro, or minimalist packs. Well-chosen icon is a love letter to your setup.

In short, icons are like Easter eggs in a game: once you realize their importance, you can’t live without them.

If you're looking for icons, I've got a few resources for you:
