I am addicted to linux pornography

You guys can find the config here (it's not mine):

@shikhr_ wOw, thats my config right there, appreciate it guys!

Thanks for making it! It's absolutely incredible.

@shikhr_ thats insane how good of a reach this post got

Yeah it's surprising, but this will convert a lot of people to Linux which is always good :)

@shikhr_ Yep, Linux deserves even more attention for people to leave Microslop for good.

Hey guys, I reached out to the creator on reddit. Say Hi! They are also adding the wallpapers on the GitHub. So check it out!

@shikhr_ Bro that commands are way too sexual

Hehe yeah, turning the computer on, or the computer turns you on, is the ultimate dilemma of a linux ricer

Go check out some more details if you are interested in this config:

@shikhr_ Now that is sexy!

Yes lmao

@shikhr_ I understand that this might be appealing to the eye, but essentially its just useless utter garbage and noise taking RAM, GPU and CPU without any meaningful reason.

Everything doesn't need a reason to happen. Art is meaningless if you use that logic. People do things because they like them.

@shikhr_ Did you just used art to justify bloated wayland/hyperland config? I mean, its your computer, do whatever makes you happy, but for the love of god dont call it art. These is a reason for everything, even art.

@shikhr_ Well, it eats a 0.6-0.9% of my cpu at best and little to no ram, it is optimized and very lightweight and I use my laptop to study. So i wouldn't say that its "bloated" when it is functional and does what is was intended to do.

@shikhr_ But what exacly does it do? Thats the real question

@shikhr_ and what should it do? It is an eye-candy shell for having all the widgets i use daily and I was simply sharing my progress. Its not my problem you have expectations that don't match the intended purpose of the rice to be "pretty".

@shikhr_ Im not bashing you, you should do whatever you like. I just said there is no meaningful reason for this, other than using it as "eye candy", and you started defending it like your life depends on it. As you can think its beautiful, i can think its garbage, this is a public post.

@shikhr_ i too remember when i was 14 and thought i was a l33t hacker when all i did was tinker with UI rather than actually do anything resourceful.

Yeah, my definition of hacker has changed dramatically as I grew up as well

@shikhr_ This shit looks more bloated than Win 11 😭

It is still more efficient in terms of performance than Windows 11.

@shikhr_ @widznajomych Are you talking about overall system efficiency or 'tool-specific' efficiency? Because doing same tools on Windows is likely to be much more efficient on system resources for tools itself.

@widznajomych No and no. Linux is better optimised than windows, and quickshell (the tool for building these cool widgets) is highly performant on hyprland. Windows is a mess of poor graphics api.

@shikhr_ ricing is one thing linux is very good at

One of the best things

@shikhr_

God forbid someone from India likes linux rices.

@shikhr_ God forbid someone from India

@shikhr_ Racism?

@Cregen_official Very common on X, don't mind it

@shikhr_ cool, now connect an external monitor on a laptop with a NVIDIA GPU without having a gazillion driver problems

On hyprland, it is very easy

@shikhr_ n me convença a trocar de sistema operacional num domingo as 15 horas tendo que trabalhar amanha

You know the urge, it is unstoppable

@shikhr_ Are there any tutorials on YouTube that would allow me to have a similar experience to yours?

Just search "linux ricing guide" (add your system info optionally), and go from there. These days, it is easier with AI help.

@shikhr_ Tnks bro

@shikhr_ ricing is a hobby if you know how to do it properly

It's hard to manage when you have a job, especially when things can break and you don't have time to fix

@shikhr_ having a job, couldn’t relate

Ywah it sucks

@shikhr_ i wish i knew how to rice the shit out of my desktop

It's easy to start these days

@shikhr_ without AI though

Without AI there's a slight learning curve

@shikhr_ >is it bloated, maybe useless and disctracting? yes >do i want it ? YES YES YES YES YES

Story of my life

@shikhr_ yeah man same 😔

@shikhr_ Guys, checkout my most recent post! It's the current state of my system. A lot of things improved, too.

@shikhr_ this doesn't look that great and is definitely not very usable. stupid half polished animations with elements that have literal pollution with useless shit. Yeah my guy I want to fucking play a rotating aim trainer to scan bluetooth devices or that mac address is very needed!

@shikhr_ Holy fuck that looks banger

Yeah it's super cool

@shikhr_ man thats so cool !! a os can be customized this much is carzy !!

And this isn't even scratching the surface of all the crazy things that can be done.

@shikhr_ now i have strong urge to install linux on my mac !

Hahaha, maybe try a vm.

@shikhr_ ricing is fun!

Yeah, it was fun when I had the time and energy to do it. Now I just watch others.

@shikhr_

Wow this rocks. You should try hyprland, it's like i3 but modern and has more customisations

@shikhr_ I would try it out later when I get my hands on a better machine!

Yeah that's cool. Hyprland is definitely a bit demanding on hardware.

@shikhr_ i think i've seen this somewhere

Yeah, it's on r/unixporn

@shikhr_ ahhaaa now i remember they're the goats in ricing

Yeah, I love scrolling their posts occasionally. It feels so good.

@shikhr_ front page of wallpaper engine core

@shikhr_ this looks interesting

Yes it does :)

@shikhr_ And it's nixos? God is great.

Yes it is

@shikhr_ ULTRAKILL WALLPAPER? HELL YEAAAAAA

@shikhr_ looks like rainmeter

Nah, this is 100 times better than rainmeter

@shikhr_ Share please

@shikhr_ THX

@shikhr_ bro make a youtube tutorial . I will sponsor 😭😭

@shikhr_ @honordevs

@shikhr_ I'm screaming on this😱, which OS is this???? I love it 😍❤️🥵. Hope it is Linux-based OS? Which distro????

It's hyprland on nix. Links in replies under the post.

@shikhr_ Looks crazy , how 10 year old me thought os will like like when I will be 20

Yeah, I thought it'll be all holograms floating around tbh

@shikhr_ Only thing that change is matrix multiplication taking job 😭

Lmao that's true 😭

@shikhr_ @sSpectralls might be for you

@shikhr_ ricing slop
