I wanted start ricing for a long while now, and i finally did something!! The focus is obv on the fastfetch config, everything else i just ripped the color theme from somewhere else. But this is the first time ive actually riced something myself and made something unique :3

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.

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.

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?

[–] seraphine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] seraphine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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?

[–] seraphine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

It's okay to not know. The real test of your character comes from what you do after you learn about it.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Don't worry, you're good on the term usage! Don't let them tell you otherwise!

[–] tensor_nightly69@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

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.
