The term "Ricing" comes from the car mod world. A "rice burner" was a super small, underpowered, predominately asian car/motorcycle that enthusiasts for some reason love to buy and trick out with tons of crazy modifications that are entirely aesthetic with no performance gain (because the engine was so bad that no mods could be made to them/no parts exist to mod them). Nowadays the term "ricer" just means any car owner who modifies their car with entirely too many visual mods and no performance improvements, resulting in a car that looks very flashy without the power to back it up.
I already tweaked gnome to my liking but this video did introduce me to unsplash. The days of me scrolling though crap watermarked wallpapers on google are over because there's so many good, high resolution wallpapers to choose from! It's amazing!
Another good site like unplaced is called pexels give it a shot, also images form these sites are not copyrighted I use them as assets for websites I make as a side hustle
It's really cool how granular these instructions are, I like how you note every step, shortcut, and alternate way of doing things. Good documentation is important and you've done a stellar job here.
That's not what "ricing" means. It comes from the world of car mods in which people will take small Japanese vehicles like the Honda Civic and kit it out with a bunch of aesthetic changes that make it "look fast". These cars are then involved in street races. That is where people got the idea of creating the acronym. The acronym came after the term. It is not the origin of the term. It's called "ricing" because of the association with Asia.

I like the Mac OS Dock, that magnifies the icons when you hover your cursor over them. A tutorial on how to set it all up to look and act like a real Mac OS.
I didn't realise gnome was this tweakable. Question: If there's a large Gnome / PopOS update, does it tend to break the theming? Is it finicky to stay on top of? or is it more set'n'forget?
For the most part, updates tend not to break anything. Recently some shell themes broke GNOME's new menu but they continued to work fine everywhere else, it's mostly set and forget and if anything breaks it's usually just an update to fix :3
Nice one. I love my Pop OS and while I love vanilla gnome setup, there is no distro that suits my need. So I made it look like ubuntu and it looks pretty but not as clean as these (I disabled Pop Cosmic extension for vanilla gnome like setup). I'd also add Night Theme Switcher extension its very underrated. Also thanks for that dconf tips and this setup looks very clean
I was watching this on the incognito mode, copied and pasted on the video URL, so I can (comment, like) && Subscribe!! Best "ricing" for Pop I have seen, quick and simple :)
Oh that's interesting. I learned about the term ricing just a few weeks ago (in a car enthusiast channel). Didn't know it was also used in computers. But I guess that makes sense. Ricers for the visuals (UI) and uhh racers for the performance (hardware?)
The word basically got popularized everywhere. It doesn't really make anymore initial contextual sense but when you already know it, you know what it means
This looks great, however the menu bar (File/Edit/Window/Help/etc..) in multiple applications (Signal, Hexchat, etc..) appears white and completely ruins the theme. Is there any fix for this?
PopOS is properly still on some older Gnome version. Newer version of gnome will not work with this. You can set theme for legacy applications (GTK2/3), but not for GTK4, which is most of the Gnome Stack by now.
@@arianitonline8748 What? No!. They are working on their own desktop, but that is far from done. PopOS is using Gnome with a Cosmic touch, mostly some Gnome Extensions. Also what I mentioned is not a Gnome issue. It's a GTK issue, and no desktop or extension changes how GTK4 theming works.
Your setup looks great, but I'm having trouble getting other applications to pick up the Dracula theme. When I apply Dracula in Gnome Tweaks, basic applications like the file manager work fine, but others I installed manually, like Timeshift and Cheese, don't work with this theme. They use a light theme, which breaks the consistent look and feel of the setup. I also tried different dark themes, but the problem remains. Only when I use the built-in Pop Dark theme then other applications adopt the dark look and feel. Does anyone else have the same problem and/or know any solutions?
everything works except for 2 things. Icon pack - flattery indigo doesnt give the indigo color but a bluish color, while the 'faltery dark one gave the Indigo color. the other one is the minimize maximize and close symbols or icons arent like mac and look like windows ones instead (only in browsers) but i notice in the video that his browsers arent like that. any advice for me ?
You just got a sub dconf is good option i am gonna try out this theme and icons of my fedora, can you tell me the name of the menu that appears in the middle? It's really handy
Tried it, unfortunately the dracula theme works for some apps and not for others like Firefox and brave. Even the cursor is one theme sometimes and another one in other apps
I have recently dual-booted my PC with POP OS but while i am using it the screen starts flickering whenever I make a cursor move. This only happens in laptop display but not on any external monitor. Can anyone help me fix this issue.
It's weird that ricing got defined as such, it use to refer to folks who tricked out Japanese cars but I guess being a graybeard ... I forgot to check out the def. I never use the term. The rest of the vid. 🤘
lol my dad had to stop me after i mentioned the term and yeah… i was shocked. Can honestly say they i don’t think a single person uses that term with ANY kind of ill intent, but yeah the etymology here is a bit unfortunate haha
@@scally9341 Yeah, it's like the term based ... that was used along with basehead to refer to folks who did crack or freebased cocaine. I still can't use the term without thinking I just called someone a crackhead. :D
i saw another video in youtube and only installed the pop os nvidia thing this month. we have to disable secure boot in bios and fastboot option from the power settings in control panel, before even trying to install it. it works perfectly for me cause i did it exactly like them. you could try too. i dont know the name of the channel but you could see them using a hp laptop to install it (that's the one)
Your meaning for "ricing" is totally wrong. It actually comes from the saying, "ricing a car" or a "riced out car". Its a derogatory term for a overly modified Japanese car.
I kept hearing from other people how you can make any distribution look like any other distribution. Finally, there's somebody to show it!

thanks for that info
Asia and rice... They're linked together. Rice is the "pasta" for the Asians 🍚🍙☺
People didnt/couldn't mod for performance with Skylines? 300zx? Silvias? 180sx? Preludes? etc?

Great guide, thanks for sharing...
Nice Video!
How did you blur Tilix?
I thought "ricing" comes from the "rc" at the end of some config files
Shell won't allow me change it, there's a yellow alert triangle and is disabled
You just got a sub dconf is good option i am gonna try out this theme and icons of my fedora, can you tell me the name of the menu that appears in the middle? It's really handy
What kind of program do you use to open apps using keyboard shortcuts ?
That's the Pop COSMIC extension from Pop OS
Great Job! Well done
Cool, now let me set the play back speed to 50% so I can make sense of all this. Thanks.
This is all very simple and straight-forward.
Tried it, unfortunately the dracula theme works for some apps and not for others like Firefox and brave. Even the cursor is one theme sometimes and another one in other apps
when I try making the folders as you describe I am prevented from putting the period in front
great video!!
adding a theme does not give my and option in the appearance tab in tweaks :(
Awesome clean theme
Can I apply all this customizations to the latest version of Ubuntu (24.04)?
what do you use to have this mic audio quality ?
How did you get ride of the "show applications" button on the dock (the one with 9 dots in a grid)?
Right click on it and unpin - if that is not possible, then from Settings > Desktop > Dock > Show Applications Icon in Dock (untoggle)
@@nixtricksthanks I have no idea how I missed that 😅
This looks sexy, but soon pop is going to move to rust based cosmic desktop , so these customisations won’t work mostly
Pretty cool 😎
alternative:
sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop
use sddm instead of gdm3

Sorry bro okay with KDE and Manjaro
Default theme of pop os is better clean and good looking than what you tweaked. Iam sorry it’s just my opinion
Pop os theme looks like a mess
Fucking slaps
Ricing originated from pimping your car out Asian "rice" style.
try new Debian 12
and runs better
Gnome without kde like blur is boring
Why your mouth so moist move the microphone outside your mouth. Great video tho!
