I’m really not deep enough into that culture to understand what you mean. Either that, or it’s that I’m a non native speaker? 😅 Please explain. 🙏 Is it not just a nerdy way of saying “making a Linux desktop environment look fancy”?

    “ricing” comes from people “tricking out” Japanese cars by customizing them. I think most people don’t think it’s saying anything negative about Asians but some people take it that way. I think one similar term that sounds much worse is when people call those same Japanese cars “rice burners”. That one sounds derogatory/racist to me
