To install Arcticons on a KDE based distro, you first need to download the latest arcticons-version.tar.gz from the on GitHub.
Then go to your System settings > Global theme > Icons there's an install from file button. Press it and navigate to the package you downloaded.
This should install two versions, the dark & light version. Choose the version that you want and enjoy the clean icons.
In GNOME Shell, you can either use the Terminal and type the command gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme <arcticons-light/arcticons-dark> or use the GNOME Tweaks GUI to change the icon theme to Arcticons Light or Dark. (To change the icons for Qt/KDE applications in GNOME as well, you need to open qt5ct and/or qt6ct and select the icon theme there)
You can install the icon theme by copying the arcticons-light and/or arcticons-dark folder into ~/.local/share/icons for a user-wide installation or into /usr/share/icons for a system-wide installation.
