I’ve spent the last year learning Linux and coding, I had used windows for years and only used Ubuntu 12 for very short stints, and as for coding i was clueless, now ive a basic understanding but im getting there. Anyway thank you to all the maintainers, devs and community

    Just looked into the terminology, as an Asian I don’t see it as that offensive if offensive at all when used for Linux theming

      might not seem that way at a glance but as someone that was into car culture in the 90s it definitely was and that’s where it carried over from.

        I don’t think it carries over. Its been reclaimed and now it has connotations of pride, ricing seems to of been an insult as the cars where cheaply and tackily fitted. My desktop and many others I’d seen “riced” looked far from cheap

          We literally had this whole argument play out before and I’m just standing by the fact it isn’t “reclaimed” because most of the people using it and defending it are white dudes. I am not going to criticize your use of it if you’re actually Asian but it’s not really worth trying to reclaim imo.
