I think the modern usage also has the nuance of fragility and temporality.

You wouldn't call a polished and extremely stable customisation a 'rice', you'd probably call it a theme

I'm all for using "theme" as a replacement.

I just said 'theme' has different connotations?

How about "farkle" to take another term from the motoring world?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
