Swapping over to Linux officially today. Was running Ubuntu in a VM just to get my feet wet, but once I was commited to swapping decided to figure out with distro I wanted. Arch is perfection.
In car culture RICE is an acronym for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement. It CAN be a derogatory term in that world, but it definitely does fit the description of customizing linux.
That acronym was created after the term was created. It was originally a derogatory term for japanese cars in the US being called "Rice Burners". Most of these cars had mod kits and a very specific look. So when Americans started adopting these visual mod kits the term eventually got altered to "Ricing" or "Ricing out" your car. It never started with that acronym.
It started as a derogatory term for Japanese people, then became used for Japanese cars in the US, then became used as a term for stock performance cars that use bolted on or just "cool looking" body modifications.
I switched from using arch on KDE to just dwm like 5 days ago. I have so far done the basics like remapped the keybindings, got the dark theme(of course), wallpaper and a few other stuff just enough to get the system working and usable. I have be procrastinating to do the rest like setting up a status bar, keyboard bindings for audio and brightness control and thing like that (I have to do that form the terminal right now) .
i juat fixed my unbootable arch linux system by booting from a live usb, mounting all of the partitions, and using genfstab. i feel proud of myself cuz i figured it out by myself
Awhile ago, I ran Debian off a first generation Celeron (Intel chipset). This was back in the Wheezy days. I always used twm, or fvwm window managers. It was a low ram environment.
Jumped into Linux (Manjaro - don't hate) three weeks ago, started dual booting with windows. But a couple days in, i could definitely tell i was using windows less and less. By day four it was Linux only. Using KDE helped out a lot in my transition, as it's full customizability is, though overwhelming at first, fun and very liberating. I started off with Zorin, and on day 5 i was installing Manjaro. I'm definitely switching over to Arch but I'm struggling with holding myself back from doing it too soon. I've never had so much fun with just an OS on my computer in my life
Have you tried (n)sxiv? It is an image viewer that can work as dmenu letting you to choose one(or maybe more, not sure) picture from set. Probably perfect for picking wallpaper
The only difference between a de and a wm is that a de just includes more default software what you were describing was the difference between tiling and floating wm‘s
Hey very informativ video! Do you happen to share the color scheme somewhere? Simms like a good starting point for a newbie like me. Is there a way to set colors globally or does one have to set them on every app individually?
I got into ricing with Rainmeter on Windows 7, and that's what lead me towards Linux. I really want to switch to Linux full time, but every time I finish customizing my desktop environment, I screw up the whole install.
The thing with linux, often if you make a little mistake, you can actually reverse it. Try to fix what mistake you made instead of uninstalling completely
Buy a second SSD unplug Ur windows SSD and then install Linux on the second SSD and then switch between the ssds in boot menu if you mess up Ur Linux install you can easilly delete it and reinstall it
The tool is dmenu, it's an app launcher which doesn't have this wallpaper switching built-in but could be implemented through configs, couldn't find anythig about it in the repo linked in the description though
Yo, This was a great video to start leaning about ricing. Can you maybe make a tutorial were you start from the bare bones of arch linux and build it up. Btw how do you install the programs to make arch linux look like that?
2:02 we like pretty face , completly agreed . how can you love a setup if it looks ugly functionalty is another aspect but outer beauty also matters thats why "Love at first sight " exists
I started using debian recently, and I am very content (at the moment) with KDE plasma. customisablity was one of the main reasons I switched to Linux (the others being Microsoft continually taking the absolute piss with their recent changes to Windows 11). I've got my desktop to a way that I like it, and I'm really impressed by just how much can be customed in KDE purely through GUIs. that's not to say I'll never switch, but I think I'll only switch to something else if I ever try to do something and KDE tells me "no"
I think you have a basic setup like I mean as far as you have shown it in the video. You can replicate it in any window manager. Even in the simple ones like bspwm.
It's funny, because "ricer" is kinda a derogatory term in the car community. It's usually aimed at people who do modifications that are impractical and/or cosmetic only.
Usually it fits. Bloating Linuxes with animations and GPU hungry mods. I can get behind themes that are simple and keep performance snappy, but why people rice out their linux to emulate windows aero with wallpaper engine is beyond me.
i switched from windows -> debian 11 -> currently arch(newbie) with hyprland ..i do programming (CS) , and im kinda worried using arch , since i really want to daily drive it bcoz of the hyprland is sooo good !!).. what do you suggest? should i keep practicing on arch or move to debian OR dual boot BOTH!?
This is very rare when packages wrong, especially essentials one. If hyprland happened to broke, you will just temporary (like, for few hours I guess) to another compositor or just install xorg-minimal and something like i3 or bspwm. Also there are backups of your previous packages. I believe it is stored in like /var/cache/pacman. Well, I don't think that broken packages are big deal unless it is grub or drivers
i think hyprland may be the best minimal wayland compositor as of now, i tried using dwl (dwm port for wayland) but its way too buggy and has too little documentation (for patches too)

have you heard of/tried configuring pywal for the colorschemes? mono themes make differentiating between syntax and filetypes more difficult as pretty as they are, and you dont have to sacrifice the looks for functionality with software like pywal, if you havent heard of it, it themes your pc automatically based on your wall paper to make sure everything goes well together. lmk what you think
I have used it in the past but with dwm you have to recompile each time and its a bit of a pain, and sometimes the colours just look horrible unless you got the perfect wallpaper
@@MashedLinux you can patch dwm with the xrdb patch so that you can just change the wallpaper and do a keybind then the colors will automatically change. no need to recompile each time.
If you can make a list of the essential apps that i need to install to have a functioning system with a wm that would be great bc wms are so bare bones and i don't know how to manage notifications and power for example
Cool vid! I can’t help but feel that my time customizing would be better spent learning something or building something. Do you ever feel that way? Thanks!
100% I always promote the idea, get a setup that you know you will like for the next couple of years, then start using Linux for work instead of just messing around
So, I disagree about rice not having practicality. My rice is all about having a practical setup that also looks pretty. Example: I use i3 gaps rounded, with all of my keybinds set up so that everything I could want to do, my hands don't even have to leave the keyboard. It's very rare that I have to use the mouse or trackpad. Every program I use is selected for practicality and looks. If it doesn't look pretty *and* have vi keybind options, I don't want it.
Pretty cool BUT stabile? secure? U should make a video about the stability and security too. Some advice about what distro to choose as the base system. etc.
I completelly agree! Specially non-systemd distros/comunities have this think "out of the box" way of dealing with daily tasks! I recomend voidlinux and artix. I also use dwm and the amount of free memory, out of sudden, is not a problem anymore!
I love this. I like to call it anti-gatekeeping videos
I think I get the general idea, but could you elaborate?

I think you have a basic setup like I mean as far as you have shown it in the video. You can replicate it in any window manager. Even in the simple ones like bspwm.
Technically there are stacking window managers which do not tile your windows (e.g. evilwm). Every DE has a WM, but not every WM is a tiling WM.
