You will.

We're a gateway drug.

    I've never watched Star Trek, apart from few episodes of Deep Space 9 (?) quarter century ago. Where should I start now if I'd like to get some understanding of the universe?

    I don't really know but i started with and loved Voyager, i got recommended thats its a big more modern then next generation series.

    The events of Voyager and deep space 9 also happen at a same time so i planned to move to ds9 next.

    DS9 is waaaay better than voyager. Just the fact that there's no neelix is a huge point in its favor.

    DS9 is waaaay better than voyager.

    That's debatable. Both had their flaws, but I really preferred Voyager's idea of "dang, it's going to take us decades to get home and we're in uncharted territory, so let's explore the hell out of our way back" over DS9's "were sitting at the galaxy's newly discovered traffic junction and our new enemies look like anything, so our major conflict is that anybody could be a traitor and our utopia is turned upside down into a surveillance state".

    I heard there where many people that did not like him but after Kes left i actually grew quite fond of him.

    I found him obnoxious, not to mention super abusive to kes. Also, weird choice having him babysit Naomi. "Hey, who should we leave alone with this young girl? How about the grown man who was dating a 2 year old when we met him?"

    But wait until you watch DS9, quark is the superior comedy relief character.

    We are Linux. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your hard drive will be reformatted to service us. Resistance is futile.

    I've been here so long that I decided to start watching Star Trek. Have started from the original series, gone to the animated series and now watching The Next Generation

    It's inevitable! Resistance is futile

    Also I changes to Linux 1 year ago. Linux Mint works fine for me. Even with nvidia GPU

    I really enjoyed the original series, the other stuff just seems daunting to me.

    I feel like the original series were painful to get through but fun at the same time.

    The animated series we're terrible.

    The Next generation is actually alright. It gets pretty good a few seasons in.

    If by animated series you mean Lower Decks, you better take that back.

    About 2 months ago I made Linux my main OS. Still have to use windows for a few games, but all my computing is done on kubuntu.

    I had a ton of fun messing with different distros and trying out a ton of tools. I won't be going back that's for sure.

    You know. I did just finish "The Expanse" and considering it's at risk of not continuing maybe I should start Star Trek

    at risk of not continuing

    Clarifiction: It was canceled over two years ago. They finished it as a 12 part comic book series, that released the last issue a year ago.


    Although it's important to note that if you don't find the first season of TNG engaging, skip to season three and then go back later. (Many people recommend going straight to season three after the double episode opening in the first)

  • Clarification: The 9 book series is complete and much better than the show. There are also 9 novellas to fill in the blanks like Amos's childhood. So fucking good.

    I've never heard of this comic book you speak of.

    There is also a TTRPG that is also quite fun and includes a lengthy section on orbital mechanics for the needs.

  • You should be doing both of those things ASAP.

    Star Trek is surely a big community, bit it still is a single community. However, for GNI/Linux, we are all around the place here.
