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

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.

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.

Isn't that a pretty racist term?

[-] seraphine 13 points 2 weeks ago

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 2 weeks 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 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] tensor_nightly69@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks 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.

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 6 points 2 weeks 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 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

Looks nice. Is that Rosé Pine?

I should do a pastel theme sometime. I think they look really nice, but my eyes need a dark theme.

[-] seraphine 3 points 2 weeks ago

nope, havent used rose pine :) the hyprland and fastfetch config i made myself, and the hyprpanel is the catpuccin (i think it was frappe) theme. the colors i got by using a color palette from image extractor :P

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ah ok, yeah catppuccin and rosé pine look similar. Looks nice in any case!
