I know a lot of you guys have been asking about my distro, what DE and WM I’m using, what themes and icon packs - so, I decided to just show you. All cards on the table now and links in the description. We’re gonna set it all up from scratch, and then talk a bit about how to automate all of this in the future, what "ricing" is and why you should probably stop calling it that.

The term "Ricing" comes from the car mod world. A "rice burner" was a super small, underpowered, predominately asian car/motorcycle that enthusiasts for some reason love to buy and trick out with tons of crazy modifications that are entirely aesthetic with no performance gain (because the engine was so bad that no mods could be made to them/no parts exist to mod them). Nowadays the term "ricer" just means any car owner who modifies their car with entirely too many visual mods and no performance improvements, resulting in a car that looks very flashy without the power to back it up.

That's not what "ricing" means. It comes from the world of car mods in which people will take small Japanese vehicles like the Honda Civic and kit it out with a bunch of aesthetic changes that make it "look fast". These cars are then involved in street races. That is where people got the idea of creating the acronym. The acronym came after the term. It is not the origin of the term. It's called "ricing" because of the association with Asia.

Nice one. I love my Pop OS and while I love vanilla gnome setup, there is no distro that suits my need. So I made it look like ubuntu and it looks pretty but not as clean as these (I disabled Pop Cosmic extension for vanilla gnome like setup). I'd also add Night Theme Switcher extension its very underrated. Also thanks for that dconf tips and this setup looks very clean

Oh that's interesting. I learned about the term ricing just a few weeks ago (in a car enthusiast channel). Didn't know it was also used in computers. But I guess that makes sense. Ricers for the visuals (UI) and uhh racers for the performance (hardware?)

I didn't realise gnome was this tweakable. Question: If there's a large Gnome / PopOS update, does it tend to break the theming? Is it finicky to stay on top of? or is it more set'n'forget?

@Sophed Жыл бұрын

For the most part, updates tend not to break anything. Recently some shell themes broke GNOME's new menu but they continued to work fine everywhere else, it's mostly set and forget and if anything breaks it's usually just an update to fix :3

PopOS is properly still on some older Gnome version. Newer version of gnome will not work with this. You can set theme for legacy applications (GTK2/3), but not for GTK4, which is most of the Gnome Stack by now.
