Meta post I've decided to make. I enjoyed the unixporn subreddit a lot when I used reddit more. I enjoy customizing my linux de as much as the next nerd.
But you definitely shouldn't use racist slang to refer to the process.
To be clear, I didn't know the origin of the term 'ricing' until fairly recently. I was chattimg with my friend and used it to describe my de setup. They informed me that apparently it's from car customization, and is a pejorative against generally asian men who customize their car to look like a racecar.
After learning this I was sad to realize just how engrained it is in linux de customization culture. I personally have stopped using the term, and I would ask everyone here stop as well.

Oh no, I jumped straight to cussing people out and conducting personal attacks against somebody trying to argue for continual use of a racist term

This is why we're in this thread trying to educate you, my child.
You're plainly in the wrong here in terms of behaviour. But I also know there's no getting through to you based on your behaviour.
You're a tone policing dweeb arguing in support of being racist. If you need more context for the history of the term, please read further here

Why don't you watch YOUR behavior
You just called her a dipshit, why are you resorting to personal attacks?
😔
Great bit account how did I just discover about you
❤️
Yeah I should have said acting like a dipshit. But I'm glad that's the only thing you were able to focus on lol.
so you have no opinion and you decided to get mad at the person cussing out the racist guy?
