Had no idea you can setup a full DE & display server on Termux, must be clunky but really cool
Yeah, it's pretty sweet! There's even a whole sub over at Reddit. But be warned: I once asked politely why they insist on ricing their termux instances - expecting some sincere replies - and I got bullied out of there faster than the Millennium Falcon did the Kessel Run...
Maybe dontnsay ricing
Why? People above ricing now? 🤣
Think about what group of people a word based on "rice" targets?
I'm really not deep enough into that culture to understand what you mean. Either that, or it's that I'm a non native speaker? 😅 Please explain. 🙏 Is it not just a nerdy way of saying "making a Linux desktop environment look fancy"?
"ricing" comes from people "tricking out" Japanese cars by customizing them. I think most people don't think it's saying anything negative about Asians but some people take it that way. I think one similar term that sounds much worse is when people call those same Japanese cars "rice burners". That one sounds derogatory/racist to me
