Plenty of people still know or use the other meanings, and it's still based on common stereotypes. Reclaiming slurs only really works when it's done by the targeted group, and when the word is being used with positive connotations.

Now, now. Cinnamon is a perfectly competent DE. Gets out of the way. Does what it's supposed to.
Let us not treat it like it is Gnome.

The term "rice burner" originated in the Anglo-American context, and the word "ricing" cannot be divorced from the way people use "rice" as a versatile and generic racial epithet in varied context outside of the software world. As in people going, "haha, rice" something when being racist against Asians. It's a long and ignominious American tradition to demean racial minorities with food. As in insulting Mexicans with "bean". Anecdotally, some older Italians still remember being made to feel bad for eating pasta, when Italians weren't white yet. The term "ricing" will certainly remain racist due to the way anti-Asian racism continues to work. Hence my point that the term must be abandoned, if one wishes to not be racist. Just find a different word for it. it ain't that hard. It is certainly not possible to use an American word with racist origins without divorcing it from the cultural context from which it came.

I don't like GNOME, but I've honestly had consistently worse experiences with Cinnamon.

No ads in operating system. Simple.

I like Windows 11. It has the best HDR support of any OS, bar none. AutoHDR is a godsend.
My only complaint is about the taskbar, which I fixed by installing StartAllBack.

Elaborate?

Aw, that sucks that they're infesting Linux, too. I thought that free/open source would be too commie-socialist for them.
