Hi guys, I am new to the Linux world as my work has asked me to familiarise myself with Linux.
I have installed Linux Deepin and having trouble finding this "advanced system settings" that everyone is mentioning?
I am trying to change the theme from the default 'deepin' theme that the system has. I have gone to home/dudalemon/usr/themes and can find a whole bunch of folders with different themes but I am not sure how to select it?
Also reading these forums people keep mentioning CCSM or "compiz" but i don't know how to open these?

FYI messing with GUI will not help you to gain any professional experience with Linux. Because it so happens Linux has no GUI. There are several applications that run on Linux and create GUI, but learning say, KDE, is not same as learning Linux.
Your Settings should be in the upper right hand corner of your desktop.
For a quick fix run the command that jamison20000e posted.
Click on the arrow to the far right that's pointing downward. That should show 3 Icons. One for shutdown one for to lock the screen and on for 'System'.The Icon for System should have 3 lines with small tabs on it click on that.
If you don't have those Icons please post a picture of your desktop.

going to the top right corner does nothing, but if I right click on the desktop page and click "corner navigation" I get options (can't screenshot that) which is "control center, all windows, launcher, desktop, none". When setting this option if I go to the top right then that selected option will pop up.

none of which is "system".
Your Setting should be on the 3rd page of your Applications Menu which is launched from the last Icon on the Launcher.
Bring up all of your Applications. Look through them 'Settings' should be in there. http://i1052.photobucket.com/albums/...603_215741.jpg
Alright, so here is a screenshot of my launch items. The only settings is "printer settings"
Now i tried to do the command that jamison2000e i get this:
dudalemon@dudalemon-pc:~$ apt-get install kde-plasma-desktop
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
I am fully new to this so i might need a step by step run through
