## What it is
La Capitaine is an SVG-based icon pack for Linux desktop environments, inspired by macOS and Google's Material Design. It ships with a configuration script that adapts system and mime-type icons to the user's distribution, desktop environment, and dark/light GTK theme.

## Use cases
- make my linux desktop look like macos
- install a material design icon theme on gnome
- svg icon pack that scales on hidpi screens
- customize kde breeze icons
- dark theme compatible icon set for gtk
- change mime type icons on fedora

## When to choose
- you want a polished, macOS/Material-inspired icon look on a Linux desktop
- you need resolution-independent SVG icons for GNOME, KDE, or other freedesktop environments
- you use a dark GTK theme and want matching icon variants

## When to avoid
- you need icons for Windows or macOS desktops rather than Linux
- you require frequent updates or new app icons, as the project has been inactive since late 2021
- you need a full GTK/Qt theme rather than just icons
