I’ve been using linux for about 6 months now and recently been using arch as my main. I’ve done some customzations like changing fonts, background, keybinds, etc. But I really want to actually customize like the behaviour of apps, cool animations.

Are there any links, videos, post or anything that is beginner friendly of ricing Linux?

Edit: I use Gnome for now

      Lived through the 90s when the import car scene was huge. The term ricing back then was used when referring to asians who modified their cars, as a pejorative.

      It really bummed me out to see it creep into the Linux community. Tried voicing displeasure back when I used Reddit and got blasted with downvotes and really distasteful comments, felt like I was alone in this feeling. Thanks, from some random Asian Linux user.

        It’s actually an acronym for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement. The fact that some don’t know and use it to be racist says more about them as an individual than the term itself.

          That’s a Backronym.

          The term definitely comes from looking down on tuned Asian cars (“rice burners”).
