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.
Unix: Linux, bsd, OSX and many more OS’s are Unix based
(Afaik unix was it’s own OS back in the day but i have often heard that unix nowadays is regarded as more of a philosophy)
Porn: is often used to say something looks really good: foodporn, earthporn etc.
Not based on as in they use the Unix code (except BSD from what I’ve heard in other threads here) they are unix-like GNU literally means GNU’s not Unix
Basically people will call really visually pleasing things within a hobby porn. Like on some places online you can find food porn, which is simply really delicious looking food that’s nicely presented( Yes it’s kinda an edgy joke to call it porn).
But it’s not made to be sexual and no one except maybe 0000000000.1% of people( I don’t want to think about it) probably get turned on by it.
Anyway back to riceing DWM and st.
I think you meant to put that decimal a bit further left…
Sorry, yes: 0000000000.10000000000%
Thanks, it makes more sense now.
What? Its the same as .1%, or. 01? .00000000001 would be what you’d want no?
It was a joke, I think
and why Unix? Linux ain’t unix.
It’s not just GNU/Linux what people show in unixporn: some rice macOS, some rice BSD, and some even rice Android. What do they have in common? They’re all based on UNIX.
Ohhh I only ever saw linux, sorry. So BSD is based on Unix but is not unix too?
Thanks for explaining.
Depends on what you mean by BSD.
If you mean literally BSD, then yes, it’s a direct UNIX decendant based on the same source tree. However, it’s been discontinued 30 years ago.
If you mean one of the *BSDs (Freebsd, netbsd, openbsd), then the relationship is more similar to that of linux, although there is still actual BSD code involved.

oh I get it. Thanks|!|
It comes from a book called cabin porn, which contains pictures of cabins
