I imagine the reason being spending an inordinate amount of time customizing Linux and incessantly posting to social media about it for approval, while doing no work and being a net deficit to world. No sane person has a problem with customization itself.
If you're using your computer for real work turn you would prefer it to be stable and consistent. I've seen ricing which turns their Linux install into a gaudy bauble that barely functions, then being used to mock more functional systems as "ugly". It's holding Stable Linux to Shiny Linux standards then dismissing the hard work in making it.
In the context of linux it isn't a negative term. Some predditors complain about it because it's supposedly racist against chinks, and some /g/ay luddites think any GUI customization is a waste of time.
Ricers were lovingly mocked way back when I was using Gentoo in 2006. Of course, back then, ricing was all about pointlessly overspecified USE flags, intended to eke out a few extra fractions of a percent of performance improvements, rather than overly-complicated desktop "optimisations". The urge was the same though; a belief that surely this latest hyper-specialised enhancement was going to finally bring performance nirvana, rather than being a perfect demonstration of sunk cost fallacy.
A lot of ricing of r/unixporn I feel comes straight from the tranny I want to customize my desktop like I customize my body. A lot of actual productivity ricing doesn't actually come from a nice looking desktop, it's purely keybinds and workflow, something you cant screencap into a cotton candy desktop with trans flag neofetch.
There's also the "reminder" to install Office 360 and One Drive on Windows 10 that pops up once in a while after you log in.
Some themes require Kvantum to fully change the desktop.
I've been using Devuan for years. It's nice, but you're not going to get the "most up-to-date" repositories on some things. For example, before Daedalus (the latest Devuan stable release), there was Chimaera, which is what I'm currently using and what is currently under old-stable. Chimera is based off of Debian Bullseye. QT6 is compatible with bullseye, but not Devuan Chimera for some reason (only QT5), and QT6 is the latest thing devs are using to make their stuff (specifically emulators), so I'm forced to use older versions of PCSX2 and Dolphin until whenever I decide to upgrade my distro.
Stackexchange answers seem to imply that these are a way for systemd to pass credentials confidentially between its services. As for df, its output is very friendly to piping. In your case, it would be a quick
df | grep -v "tmpfs".
What about Kubuntu? I heard it’s with KDE Plasma (which is what I want) and with Ubuntu together.
Sounds horrible but up to you, I greatly perfer cinnamon personally
Your better off with a more bleeding edge distro than Debian for gaming performance. You will be able to play games on Debian, but your going to miss out on performance from a more up to date kernel, graphic drivers, and overall software suite. Debian holds back packages for months or even years. I.E. the Nvidia driver they have is 535, released last summer, where the current beta driver is 555/560. They'll backpatch some stuff in but it'll be lackluster for trying to get the most out of your hardware.
If you do choose Arch and have a NVIDIA GPU, remember to set up a pacman hook for the GPU drivers as well
Am not going to use Arch, I used it last time and it made me want to switch back to Windows because of some issues I had with it.
What about Ubuntu based distros like Kubuntu?
Ok, Thanks for the information.
Much better. Although you don't want to use ubuntu or any other DE flavor of it because Canonical are massive faggots. A better alternative would be Mint with KDE.
I think Kubuntu is fine. According to wikipedia, Kubuntu used to be sponsored by Canonical Ltd until 2012 and its now directed by Blue Systems.
