Which other mainstream operating systems allow to apply global themes?
- fiddlerwoaroof 5y agoWindows, up until at least XP, had deep support for restyling. But this is beside the point: what drew me to Linux in the first place was that it empowered people to remix all the aspects and encouraged people to share these remixes (or “rices” as they’re called on r/unixporn: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/pfue6h/gnome_2_found_a_screenshot_of_my_ubuntu_desktop/ https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/pfue6h/gnome_2_fo... )
- lavabiopsy 5y agoYou can still do that, but hopefully you understand that by doing so, you are in unsupported territory. Also, I would suggest avoiding the use of that term as it comes from a racial slur aimed at Asians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_burner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_burner
- fiddlerwoaroof 5y agoI didn’t realize that latter part, sorry
- lavabiopsy 5y agoNo biggie, I've seen lots of people in car modding communities who use that term casually and don't know where it came from or why an Asian person would find it rude, so I just try to educate people :)
