You are going to get downvoted by people who think that the term "rice/ricing" has racist origins, before they even read your post.
I am not a Steam Deck user, I came here from sorting by new, but you might get more responses if you use a different term.
English isn't my first language and I never heard it before. What does it mean?
"ricing" in this context means heavily modifying the layout, theme and usability of the desktop environment.
It's a term used in the Linux community and I believe it originally comes from the automotive tuning community, particularly the JDM (Japanese domestic market) subscene.
Huh, I knew of the term from car communities (Civics for life) but I never put two and two together when thinking about it being used in the Linux community. TIL thanks.
