    Outstanding! I can go to bed with a smile now. Star Trek and GNU/Linux; what’ll you think of next. (Porthos got me. Gotta thumb stick of bionic pup I really need to get around to updating.)

    Wow, this is possibly the most stereotypically lemmy post (“lemmy users either like Star Trek, Linux or both”) I’ve seen in a while.

    I’m not fond of the DAX workstations. They seem to have a completely new UI every time I try them.

      You may remember the Debian/Denobulan logo from my comment under this old post of yours with Phlox’s face on Tux’s body: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/24210093

      Also, shoutout to this post full of Star Trek terms swapped into streaming service logos for also providing me with some of the inspiration to do this: https://lemmy.world/post/22402153

      Yes, it took me that many months to finally get around to finishing this project.

    Quark OS is notorious for pop up ads and dark patterns. But it does come with access to some of the best online markets and online tongo in the quadrant.

      More Quark OS features:

      • the only distro with an uninstall fee
      • Quark AI pops up when it thinks you’ve said, typed, or thought a marketable term
      • you have to purchase keystroke credits
      • your computer will resell any unused CPU and memory capacity for you. You get some of the profits as an incentive (more if you’re ferenghi).

    I prefer Federadora. It’s the open source fork of Red Shirt.

    Also you missed B’Elannah Torrana Linux

      To be pedantic: Red Shirt is the closed source fork of Federadora.

    Ubuntu doesn’t deserve Uhura. 🤣

    But in all seriousness, guess I’m a Denobluan now, minus the polyamory.

      Uhura is an African word meaning “Denobulan’s too hard to configure”.

    Not an OS, but…

    WINE? Nah, brandy… saurian brandy.

    …

    Can anyone figure out how to turn ‘Saurian Brandy’ into a self referential acronym?

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
