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.
400 comments total is rookie numbers. You should check out the news posts involving either Russia, China, or Taiwan. Or check out this post where the admins of lemm.ee asked for the users' opinions of whether to defederate from hexbear.net. There are 1884 comments. (There was once more than 1900 comments, but I guess the mods removed some.)

Just in case you didn't know, your comment along with the other replies are a perfect example of brigading.
lmao the absolute condescension
I was participating in this thread before you, finding it on my all/active feed
go back to reddit if you want to whine about brigading
Why does 50% of hexbears tell people they don't like to go back to reddit? I am never going back.
because brigades are a reddit thing but go off
says the hexbear while brigading
sorry let me rephrase that in a way you'll understand
"Just in case you didn't know, your reply along with your other comments are a perfect example of having no idea what the fuck you're talking about."
