I use it. It’s great. I’ve tried Linux many times over the past decade but it never stuck until Zorin. If you’re coming from Windows it’s a very friendly (and polished) way of being welcomed to Linux while also showing off Linux’s strengths, things that are often hidden to the user unless they want to explore the terminal.

For Mac users who are Linux-curious I would recommend Ubuntu because it’s much similar, whereas Zorin seems clearly designed with people who liked Windows 10 but not Windows 11.

He’s a big Fediverse guy, too. Very active on Mastodon.

ubuntu is fine lol especially for a newbie. Zorin is really familliar for a windows user.

I find this offensive and yet I can’t find a single reason it’s not an improvement.

My hot take is that r/startrekgifs kinda sucked. 90% of it was meta inside jokes that had nothing to do with trek

Looks like Midjourney or similar.

Pretty sure it’s AI generated anyway. Look at the rank insignia, the weird cuff bars, the weird delta shield, her knuckles, etc

how do I manage audio AND ebooks?

You need two versions of Readarr. Yes, that’s just how it is. Just like if you wanted a 4K and non-4K radarr.

If you’re sharing with other people who don’t have a 4K screen or don’t have the bandwith to stream 4K, it uses a lot of system resources to transcribe 4K content down to something manageable, so some people find it easier to just keep two copies.

HoloISO is SteamOS for non Steam Decks. That would be great option for something that “just works” and is designed for use from the couch with a controller. I haven’t tried this but I’m sure there’s a way to install Kodi for media too.

Thanks for educating me, what’s the difference between the three?

Where Are All The Bicycles?? (startrek.website)

I have an issue in general with scifi totally ignoring the existence of bicycles, but star trek is particularly fun to think about since in so many situations beaming down in an away team with electric mountain bicycles would be incredibly useful in a basic utilitarian sense. Like shuttles, bicycles could be treated as...

I agree, in my utopian future it’s possible to leisurely bike everywhere. Why hurry anywhere in a post-scarcity society when you can cruise around and take in the scenery?

I used to like Star Trek until this comment. I realize now that it’s all garbage and we have been robbed of happiness.

He smiles three times:

  • once time he on drugs
  • one time he is bullying Spock
  • one time he is on drugs (taylors version)

My pet peeve is when people call (Disco and onward) “NuTrek” because that term was created to mock the “NuMetal” Kelvinverse films for their shallowness.

Now it’s mostly used by people who complain about “wokeness” or “forced” diversity or what have you.

Corgana,
@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

NuTrek was coined to refer to the Kelvinverse films (in a pejorative way) for being edgy and shallow like “NuMetal”, but the “anti woke” crowd ruined it just like everything else.

Camp is an intentionally over-the-top stylistic choice, it’s a specific well defined style. It doesn’t just mean “silly” or “cheesy”. Star Trek isn’t camp.

Sorry to be that guy but it’s one of my pet peeves.

lmao “reasonable personal opinion” go back to Reddit with that nonsense.

It also ruined the reveal about Adira’s nonbinary identity for me. I saw she

Look, I’m sorry that representation “ruined” a low-stakes interaction about preferred pronouns for you, but it would mean a lot if you could try a little harder.
