Its spelled “eunuch porn”
But it’s pronounced, “You! NICK! Porn!” - it’s an order, not a description.

because half of the wallpapers are either hentai or sexy anime characters.
morally cuestionable hentai WP covering 4/5 of a 16:9 monitor
“I love how you rounded the corners of the tiles”
Also never understood why it’s called “rice” instead of a “theme”. Every DE uses the term “theme” but /unixporn uses the term “rice” for some reason.
Ricing came from the term rice-rocket from Japanese car enthusiasts which referred to the mods for their cars (physical mods, paint, stickers, etc). Transformed into rice/ricing eventually just because terms tend to shorten, and eventually jumped to other circles.
I usually think of a theme as a widely distributed/standardized set of appearances that anyone can load and use while a rice is customized and unique to that person
The only thing that comes to me is that someone who was really into tuning/spiffing up Japanese cars was involved in the community early on. I’ve always found it weird, and I’d honestly kinda prefer to just use “theme” or “spiff” or one of the many other words that the Godfucked curse of the Earth that is the English language provides for the purpose.

Sssssccrraaaape
I think because the term of modifying japanese cars are called Rice
All these answers are good but for the real answer: because reddit did a thing where they had "X"porn around like, idk, '07 ish. Earthporn, spaceporn, unixporn, etc. It’s just (supposed to be anyway) very pretty pictures of pretty things related to the topic, like for instance a scenic waterfall for earthporn, some cool nebula with a bunch of colors added in for spaceporn, and a sick i3 rice for unixporn.
Don’t forget RimWorldPorn

mhhm those rotating 3D models in source 🤤
Probably just line any safe for work communities that had also “porn” in its name. Just using the word to mean that it is very appealing.
it’s better than the ones ending in “masterrace” ngl. those really bother me. like try to explain where you found a (final) solution to a PC problem to your grandpa who fought the nazis
I feel like they’d probably be more concerned about the rise and return of Nazism to the US more then a subreddit name.
Do people still not get that “PC master race” was meant to be ironic? As in an insult to PC gamers who think they’re outright superior humans to the “console peasants”.
GNU is not unix
Why not linuxporn or gnuporn?
Cause there’s also BSDs in there. And sometimes
macshiddinOS
🦄🍆💦
It’s practically that but with penguins
Penguins sex, ohhh yehhh
It’s because watching people use Unix as if it were ubiquitous is a fantasy.
Certainly gets me going.
It comes from a book called cabin porn, which contains pictures of cabins
Unix is the OS Linux and BSD (and its many variants) are based off.
