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

Isn't that a pretty racist term?

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

It's okay to not know. The real test of your character comes from what you do after you learn about it.

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

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.
