  • No worries!

    Rice, ricing, ricer, etc. It’s common racist lingo that’s been used for decades.

    It’s also a common term used (for customising your desktop) on Reddit. They literally borrowed the word due to it’s rasist meaning.

    However. This is not Reddit, and it would be nice if we could keep it more civil here, which is why I’m bringing it up. :)

    That’s the downside (or upside, depending on how you look at things) of choosing a kitchen-sink distro. You get served everything and you don’t have to care or know about anything.

    However. Since you seem to be more of a power-user than a casual user, perhaps you didn’t made the best choice for yourself. Perhaps building your own setup based on a bare-bones Fedora installation would have been a better fit for you? :)

    And since I don’t even use most of the apps Akonadi is designed for, it is just wasting my CPU time and RAM space. That’s why I call it bloatware.

    You can’t just make up your own meanings of already established words and terms. That’s simply not how the world works.

    And if you don’t use it, why did you choose to install it in the first place?
