I don't want to ask but ... what does "ricer" even mean?
Ricing is the name for extensively customizing your environment. Usually your desktop environment or your window manager or both.
Ricers are people who spend unreasonable amounts of time tweaking their OS to create something somewhat pretty but very often wildly impractical for any actual real world usage of a computer. Anime girls and drawings of japanese landscapes are usually involved.

> Me when I discovered Linux and did the same with Compiz Config 🥲🤡
practically over-engineering for styling.
Originated in car culture to describe people who take Japanese economy cars and make them look like they're from The Fast And The Furious while doing nothing to improve actual performance.
RICE = Rotary Internal Combustion Engine
Aah, thanks!
synonym for theming, iirc
