Lately I’ve been using Fedora 28 and while some icons work liked they’re supposed to, others, which work in Ubuntu, do not. Take for example my all time favorite icon pack, Oranchelo, it is geared mainly towards Ubuntu.

As for obtaining icon packs, a great site is, which among other things hosts a wide variety of free to use icon packs. Now I could go over how to install icons packs, however there are countless sites who already explain the process very well, such as Tips on Ubuntu.
