KDE Rice? (discuss.tchncs.de)

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"?

"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.

Huh, I knew of the term from car communities (Civics for life) but I never put two and two together when thinking about it being used in the Linux community. TIL thanks.
