Im sure you do use linux in some way unknowingly
Phone, car, smart devices, kitchen appliances, whatever
I actually maintain a few apps hosted on Linux servers at work. I'm just not nearly as
fanaticalenthusiastic about Linux as most people around here. -
I oddly started watching star trek of because of all the fire memes on lemmy
I switched to Linux (not arch btw) around the same time as joining Lemmy. And I've still not seen any trek apart from a couple of the movies, which I quite liked. We're contemplating starting at the very start

I've just skipped around episodes in Next Generation, DS9 and Voyager but I love most of it.
Homefront and Paradise Lost might be some of the best television I've ever seen. The fact that those episodes came out before 9/11 might be the craziest piece of foreshadowing I've ever seen.
Little green men was my favorite though.
FYI DS9 isn't really a "skip around" series. Plenty of long plot arcs as the series goes on.

That very post highlights that that confirmation is only if you stream the stuff Plex streams. If you use it for your own library as most do, then it’s a non issue.
Jellyfin < Plex. No matter how you try and spin it. Just on ease of remote access and the UI alone
I look at it in the reverse. I want this platform to stream at home. If it's a pain to use at home without internt then it's lost the plot. I'd setup Plex with the trusted local network in the config file and all of that, but then I still have reconfigure my clients and then they all get admin access so all my parental controls are gone. Jellyfin and Emby get this right and Plex does not, so I dropped Plex. I ended up on Em by instead of Jelly because Direct Play/Stream just wasn't really working for me in Jelly (that may well have been due to my hosting on a Synology NAS).

We each have our own requirements and so I try not to judge which is what the comment I replied to seemed to do.
I need remote access for my users.

That's awesome! Lower decks and Strange New Worlds are going to be a treat for you, save them for later
Lower decks is simply the best trek ever.

I use Star Trek and watch Linux, but I am really missing the obligatory "There are dozens of us"-comment here. Well, now it is kind of here.
Hum... There are certainly way more than dozens. Both of those are on the millions, in a population of billions that means there would be thousands of people with both interests even if they were independent.

Each to their own but think you should highlight the failings of Jellyfin.
Mainly:
- Remote access is not a trivial feat, especially when compared to Plex
- The UI is janky.
And that's why I do Emby instead. Cloud connections are not that difficult to setup, though not as streamlined as Plex. However, I refuse to go back to Plex because of some serious privacy concerns from the last couple years. I have had a lifetime membership with them since like 2014 and it was great for a long time, but I don't need it tracking activity of my friends.

There is some really terrible original Trek, whose only defense is being a product of the time. That said, you will still see the first interracial kiss on broadcast TV. The first season of The Next Generation is pretty stilted, but is still decent in my opinion. And, as is the overarching theme for Trek, questions about who, what, and why we are will be asked, and sometimes answers will be proposed.

i've noticed that as well. arch users are to linux as gowron is to star trek memes. i haven't tried arch or gentoo--honestly i don't have the ambition i had when i was 12 trying to figure out how to run ultima 7 on my 386 "IBM compatible" CLI DOS machine
My kid installed Arch once upon a time. I was impressed and pleased with him, but also thinking that was way more work than I wanted to do to not use Windows. So I bought a Steam Deck.

And let's face it, the only options for cutesy interfaces like in Trek would be Linux or MacOS.

Cheers, but you did say this
Jellyfin < Plex. No matter how you try and spin it.
So I spun it in my own different priorities under which Plex is not superior.

I started getting into Star Trek last week and I'm planning to use Linux as soon as I get a laptop of my own. Lemmy has finally consumed me.
-
As well as Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher
While great overall, these are just launchers/wrappers for Wine/Proton with built-in library
They will not help launch something that can't be run with Proton, and for hard mode, they won't add native support.
So, nice, but not what OP is looking for

I just discovered Ubuntu Touch is an option for my next phone and am seriously considering a Volla Phone!

Starting from the beginning is the absolute best, in my opinion. The original series is so much fun, and as much as I love TNG and others, I know that nothing will come close to the cultural impact that the original had. It was prime time, mainstream, and riding the energy that the country had for space in the 1960s, with a message of hope and cooperation. That being said, prepare for a decent mix of goofiness too, lol.

If I'm only a fan of the OG Star Trek does that still count?

I’m in the same situation as you- I have a Synology NAS and I want to set up some sort of streaming for my old home movies. I would like to be able to view on mobile and at home. Is Emby possibly a better option than JellyFin for that scenario? I wasn’t even aware of them.
