I think that basic KDE looks pretty ugly. I used vanilla gnome for 6 months and loved it. I know about the subreddit unixporn and some “well themed” KDE DE look really good. I wanted to know that if it’s worth it to customize your Steam Deck DE or should you just pretend that it’s just functional and you shouldn’t touch it. I mean the Steam Deck uses an APU…would it drain a lot of memory to display something more “elaborate”?

You are going to get downvoted by people who think that the term “rice/ricing” has racist origins, before they even read your post.

I am not a Steam Deck user, I came here from sorting by new, but you might get more responses if you use a different term.

English isn’t my first language and I never heard it before. What does it mean?

“ricing” in this context means heavily modifying the layout, theme and usability of the desktop environment.

It’s a term used in the Linux community and I believe it originally comes from the automotive tuning community, particularly the JDM (Japanese domestic market) subscene.
