    Bro i just use KDE. Sometimes i tweak it a bit, mostly when i should be doing something else. But i think the defaults are just perfect.

    I just want the option to tweak it a bit. I like the fact that if i want to open Dolphin file manager with my buttplug i can probably find a way to do so.

    I try to choose a distro that looks aesthetically pleasing out of the box so I don’t have to do any of that.

    Turns out most people just want a functioning operating system and don’t need a 4d-chess mosaic of self-expression.

  • I think it’s more complicated that that.

    I spent a fair amount of time getting my system set up the way I like it, with colors, fonts, status bars. But once it was set up, I don’t mess with it much. So doors that mean I spend a lot of time ricing, or not?

    I spent far more time ricing it at the start than you’d do on Windows or Mac. But since they, almost none.

    So, on the one hand, yes, we rice a lot compared to other OS users; on the other, hardly any time.

    Then you get people who’s hobby it is to rice, and they probably would alone drop the scale to “ricing a lot,” but I don’t think they’re representative.
