Dear Unix diary,

Today I was reminded how rice can essentially 'alienate' normal users from my computer, which IMO is double-sided.
I recently acquired a chromebook from a friend, and had installed arch and my dotfiles onto it, and was showing it to the friend who had given me the chromebook. In the past, he had shown interest in linux, and has used ubuntu and crunchbang for about the past year. Because of this interest when I showed him some of the ram usage on BSPWM with BAR, he took it to start playing around with, which I was happy. However, givin the nature of smallish WMs like that(all the keybindings are customizable, you can make everything how you like) he was pretty lost. It was fun to show him how it worked together, but at the same time I could feel him rejecting this and wondering why you would not go with a stock something. The good side to rice 'alienation' is that users not comfortable with my desktop will not mess with it. I may be overthinking this.
