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.

Is the concern the connection to "rice racers" japenese import cars? or the term when you rice potatoes or cauliflower through a ricing device, making it into tiny parts?
Horribly offensive term. Webster's Dictionary defines ricing as a tiling window manger with 64px gaps, minimalist Naruto/anime background, useless bouncing bar EQ meter, entire window dedicated to song lyrics, obnoxious monospace fonts, nonsensical colors, task bar showing time/date/IP+MAC address/GPS coords/moon phase/crop yield/barometric pressure, and a Vim buffer with Rust's "hello world" tutorial.
To clarify for those who come after: It's quite blatantly the first one. You're tricking your desktop out as is stereotypical of the cars you mentioned.
Wasn't sure, some people see ricing as going into every tiny detail like grains of rice...but being old the first one is the first reference I heard.
It's possible that the majority of people weren't aware of the first one when they started using it, but they don't have an excuse if they continue to use it now.
