Call me when I can play ALL the video games I want to play on Linux and I'll happily ditch windows.
Hard mode: you aren't allowed to mention Proton or tell me to abandon video games I like because "Well kernal anticheat is bad and was invented by satan" (it is, I know, I still want to play fortnite occasionally or whatever).

I used to love Star Trek until I hit that Tuvix episode. That triggered some things in my personal background. I tried to get over it but I can't.
Maybe the lower decks parody will help? It might equally make it worse though, you might want to read or have someone else read a synopsis

That is awesome. Yoinked for my avatar!

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.

Because it’s fine, and it’s one of the more “normal” options for first-timers.
it's not "fine". i recommended a friend start with ubuntu because it's the easiest one and tte issues i have had to help with in the past year...
they switched to endeavourOS and i've heard no complaints since.

You just posted it to a server hosted on linux. You use Linux friend. One of us one of us gooble gobble one of us.
It's the year of the linux server.

Look into jellyfin. I used to run Plex but I find jellyfin way better.
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.
-
If you're still using Plex after all these years of them doing shady shit, that's on you.
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
-
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.

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.

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.

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.
