The LiMux Project.įor Unix/Linux RICE, I found ArchLinux and i3 are their major choices on operating system, though Ubuntu sometimes be mentioned. For others, it is simply hard to find Linux either user-friendly or productive. The basic setup of IT companies is MacBook with real or virtual Linux box. Most of them live in Terminal or even access Linux remotely with SSH from either Windows or macOS. For developers, they may use Linux a lot but they may not actually use a Linux desktop. It is a success to get big population within developers and is pre-installed on some cheaper PCs.īut to some extent, it is a failure. It is a great distribution, which is maybe the first beginner-friendly Linux distribution. Ubuntu may be the most popular Linux distribution. RICE should only be great in the Linux world. And macOS has long time been an authority software and closed ecosystem, so that we can hardly make deep customization into system core.Īnd it’s similar to Windows. RICE has nothing to do with easy to use by its definition. Apple’s idea is to create great product where hardware and software are seamless and easy to use for normal users.

But Apple seems never really create the soil for RICE. Mac/macOS are great hardware and software. And I spent a lot of time compositing my own one. It’s a typical RICE art and I like to watch FD (first down) videos because of their great UI in different styles. And gamers composite the plugins into their own user interface. For WoW, it provides a simple UI, even lacking of basic functions on quests, timers and so on. WoW is an epic Blizzard game, with great storyline and gaming experience.Īnother fascinating part of WoW is the customizable user interface. Just as I remember, my first deep experience on RICE is in the MMORPG game – World of Warcraft.

It is exact the same behavior as we make a great UI for dev and feel as if we get better efficiency.

Parts put on cars to make them look fast, when they have no internal tuning, and are actually slow as hell. Instead, it is the acronym of Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements. The most fascinating part of that is RICE or RICE culture. r/unixporn and /r/MechanicalKeyboards attracted me. The second time was weird, I wanted to focus on study instead of PC gaming. The first time is in my childhood, I was attracted by the magazines, which introduced me the hacker culture. Recently, I dive into Linux the third time.
