My riced surface pro 7

I've spent the last year learning Linux and coding, I had used windows for years and only used Ubuntu 12 for very short stints, and as for coding i was clueless, now ive a basic understanding but im getting there. Anyway thank you to all the maintainers, devs and community

Check out btop. It's another system monitor like htop but it has a bit more info and I've been pretty impressed with it.
- I have btop on my desktop, very pretty

fyi "riced" is kinda racist terminology. It goes back to car culture from the 90s and always kinda made me uncomfortable even then.
- I'm Asian and I don't even know or care. It's a well accepted word with well-intended meaning. I even use that word from time to time.
- So what is the new terminology for the practice of theming a desktop
  
  Theming a desktop
  
  Crackering
  "The act of tackily retheming a gui in an attempt to look like a 1337 hacker. Typically the preserve of young white males in the tech industry"
  
  Theming, customizing, personalizing, etc
  
  lol anything but that idk. It literally originates from racist stereotypes about Japanese cars and car culture though, just thought I would let you know
- I thought it meant he spilled some water on it and had to put in a bag or rice. TIL.

Clean rice. Nice.

Wat's the OSK?
- Wvkbd, its serviceable in a pinch but will probably switch to gnomes vkb
  
  Nice - having tried wvkbd I would agree. How did you plan to use gnome's vkb without gnome?

Very good rice!! Glad you are part of the linux community now. I went through the same thing like three years ago and it changed my life!!

What wm
- Sway
  
  Cool. What keyboard r u using

jesus christ we just had a huge struggle session about this.
- Well we did but this is lemmy.ml, figured I would comment on it anyway because yeah it's super fuckin racist lol.
  
  i thought it wasnt a hexbear thread? maybe it wasnt a lemmy.ml thread but they should know better.
