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
