Isn't that a pretty racist term?
I DIDNT KNOW ;-; i just knew that it was copied from customizing racecars, and now its used for customizing linux. people on r/unixporn used it all the time so i didnt know it was problematic someone in the commenrs already told me
It's okay to not know. The real test of your character comes from what you do after you learn about it.
Don't worry, you're good on the term usage! Don't let them tell you otherwise!
