Customizing the shit out of
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I like this one.
Pocking
Pocked up
I.e. peacocking, making it awesome and flashy and sharing with others
Quick reach a consensus before the yungins start posting rizzed out setups
maybe something derived from dekotora? it has most of the same associations as the term we're looking to replace while not having racist or pejorative origins. deko?
Zhush/zhoosh could work - I don't think the word is commonly used enough that it would get confusing.
Oh god, this stuff is so tiring.
Please report posts & comments that make use of the term on lemmy.ml; we remove them.
Dots!
Like dotfiles. Where most of the customizing happens.
I dotted up my dwm install?
Its kind of verbable :p
I love the idea, it covers most instances of extreme customization in Linux.
Don't worry about it, nobody says that any more. It died out with Gentoo.
