I’ve spent the last year learning Linux and coding, I had used windows for years and only used Ubuntu 12 for very short stints, and as for coding i was clueless, now ive a basic understanding but im getting there. Anyway thank you to all the maintainers, devs and community

So what is the new terminology for the practice of theming a desktop
Theming a desktop
Crackering
“The act of tackily retheming a gui in an attempt to look like a 1337 hacker. Typically the preserve of young white males in the tech industry”
Give it a few years and people will complain about it because cracker is used as a racist term against white people (because our skin looks like a cracker)
Woosh
Theming, customizing, personalizing, etc

Just looked into the terminology, as an Asian I don’t see it as that offensive if offensive at all when used for Linux theming

I don’t think it carries over. Its been reclaimed and now it has connotations of pride, ricing seems to of been an insult as the cars where cheaply and tackily fitted. My desktop and many others I’d seen “riced” looked far from cheap

I thought it meant he spilled some water on it and had to put in a bag or rice. TIL.
Wat’s the OSK?
Wvkbd, its serviceable in a pinch but will probably switch to gnomes vkb
Nice - having tried wvkbd I would agree. How did you plan to use gnome’s vkb without gnome?
Clean rice. Nice.

i thought it wasnt a hexbear thread? maybe it wasnt a lemmy.ml thread but they should know better.
And why should I know of an obscur car culture slur?
It’s ok to not know about it, but when you are made aware about it you are then presented with a choice.
It’s up to you if you want to carry on using the term despite knowing about it’s roots.
