Yup its definitely racist in origin, relating to the slur for asians suping up imports, and everyone in this thread is a fucking neckbeard defending their racist terminology
Because they took time to make something from scratch with ingredients. i.e. Cooking. linux ricing started with only Window Managers and occasionally you get someone that modifies a DE. These people start from scratch to build their perfect environment. They aren’t doing after market modifications. They literally pick the components they want and put it all together, write all the configs. Hence, Cooking.
Im pretty sure ricing is a racist term that relates to asians and aftermarket cars… we should prob phase that out folks
What is racist about the term?

When did lemmy get filled with shits
Rice burner, riced out, rice boy… and referring to a badly customized sports car…
So nothing at all to do with what we’re talking about in this thread with linux setups?
Same term, same origin, basically same meaning, other device.
Linux Ricing
A cooking term dude. Pull your head out of your ass.
Thats the dumbest shit ive heard today
How is the linux term reffering to processing food with a ricer, and not aftermarket modification of ones possessions? You imbecile

Ricing is not making things from scratch, its mashing something through a ricer.
For fucks sake
I will wait until Asian ppl comain in volume or academia before worrying about that.
Shit take
Why is it shit? If no-one is feeling hurt, what is the point? Are you protecting ppl or being hyper-sensitive.
If you are asian and offended, then tell me so, and I avoid using the term. I won’t even ask for proof or anything.
Why not just stop since you know it’s racist? Do you also use other racial slurs in your speech until someone complains to you?
Because I dn’t think it’s hurtful. I don’t think it’s designed to hurt anyone, and I don’t hear anyone describing themselves as being hurt.
Are you white?
Are you? If you are Asian, and the term “ricing” offends you, then tell me so.
Dodge the question then
You sound like someone who thinks they’re representing a group, but are actually just being hyper-sensitve.
Tell me that you are offended and asian.
I am concerned abiut identifying myself on lemmy, but I will admit that I am not Asian, and that I don’t live in North America.
Hmm so your Israeli eh?
You sound like the kind of person who would justify saying something racist with, “but I’m saying a GOOD thing about those people!”
What about beansing? It offends the beans that they’re being left out of the ricing
Possibly? In the linux world it just means making an appealing looking desktop for a unix machine
