Ricing Windows in 2020

Many people like their things to look nice. I am one of those people. I like things to look nice all the time. One of the things I like to look nice is my PC's desktop. I have to look at it constantly, so it might as well be pretty.

What is 'ricing?'

Ricing is the term used to describe the process of making a desktop environment look nice. This usually involves at least several steps, including installing a window manager, a theme, custom icons, and making the terminal look nice. Windows, however isn't meant to have every single part of it tweaked and customized, so we have to make some concessions.

Note that many ricers think that ricing is about making their computer more efficient for their workflow. I disagree. I believe that improved workflow is a sideeffect of good aesthetic, and my personal aesthetic is based in functionality. Also cyberpunk.

What does this guide include?

This guide aims to be a resource for entry level ricers to ricing their Windows 10 environment.
