Here is mine:
I don't feel I'm there yet, but because I'm not a designer I have a hard time coming up with good design decisions.

Look we got recursion now :P
im also not a designer, ice literally spent months just looking at people's rices and tried to get ideas... but bro ur bar looks so clean. like respect
i also wanted to start with the bar but i can't think of a configuration where it looks clean on two monitors
since some been asking for the wallpaper
You like running(?) boys, don't you?
im actually not gay, i just find him incredibly cute lol but yeah i like running him :3
open for suggestions btw :P
Ricing, originally short for "Racing with a Rice Rocket or Ricer, an racist slur that became popular a few years back in OS Themeing and customization. (I first noticed it in HyprLand customization, which in itself is not free of controversy, but I do not know where it came from).
Not accusing you of anything, just FYI.
It looks beautiful.
awesome bg
thanks :3, found it in low res on pinterest and just upscaled it i can send it to you if you want
Why does the background of the top bar only go 3/4 of the way down and not all the way of the height of the bar?
thats just the background image idek but ur right im gonna have to fix that
Same GPU as me. ☺️
I've recently begun my foray into Quickshell. Really looking forward to creating some cool stuff using that. The things you can create... The possibilities seem to be endless. Imagination being the limit, etc.
Highly recommend you check it out. Although warning: you might start to feel that your ricing is very inadequate. 😆 I know I felt that way about mine.
yeah i've heard about quickshell, seen some impressive things with it lol. I concluded though that its better for laptops, since i mostly use my keyboard on my PC and thus i dont need so many widgets like in quickshell yknow when I get a laptop though next year for uni ill definitely look into it again more
and yeah the 9070 xt is such a powerhouse
Isn't that a pretty racist term?
I DIDNT KNOW ;-; i just knew that it was copied from customizing racecars, and now its used for customizing linux. people on r/unixporn used it all the time so i didnt know it was problematic someone in the commenrs already told me
It's okay to not know. The real test of your character comes from what you do after you learn about it.
Don't worry, you're good on the term usage! Don't let them tell you otherwise!
Yeah, it is. It originated around the first Fast and Furious movie to describe kitting out your import Asian car with stickers and unnecessary parts.
I love the unixporn, but am constantly disappointed that this term persists.
