Me, in Arizona: Laugh

Though honestly, my thought is if the rest of the country gets rid of DST, I feel like Pacific should go to PDT because it’s incredibly nice when that part of the country aligns with Arizona’s time. Granted, that might be weirder for the eastern Mountain time states.

Not totally right. Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, and Prodigy are all decent as well. TOS is also worth a watch with an episode list, and TAS has a few good ones as well.

Discovery, in my opinion, isn't as bad some say either. It's hardly peak Star Trek, but I've found I enjoy it sometimes. I also have to throw in obligatory Orville suggestion.

As others have set, Lower Decks is not the first show you should watch though - it's more enjoyable after watching everything. Also, both Lower Decks and Prodigy, I'd recommend watching through the first 10 or so episodes before making a judgement - the first few episodes aren't their best. Lower Decks is often funny and at least once a season (from season 2) puts out a masterpiece that belong with the best of Trek. I'd say the top/my favorite LD episodes are (in no particular order):

  • S1 E8 "Veritas"
  • S2 E5 "An Embarrassment of Dooplers" (I hate the Dooplers, but everything else about that episode is solid)
  • S2 E9 "Wej Duj"
  • S2 E10 "First Contact"
  • S3 E1 "Grounded"
  • S3 E5 "Reflections"
  • S3 E6 "Hear All, Trust Nothing"
  • S3 E8 "Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus"
  • S3 E10 “The Stars At Night”
  • S4 E4 "Something Borrowed, Something Green"
  • S4 E6 "Parth Ferengi's Heart Palace"
  • S4 E9 "The Inner Fight"
  • S4 E10 "Old Friends, New Planets"
  • S5 E2 "Shades of Green"
  • S5 E4 "A Farewell to Farms"
  • S5 E6 "Of Gods and Angles"
  • S5 E7 "Fully Dilated" (I think there were some things I wish this episode did better, but I still enjofed it.)
  • S5 E9 "Fissure Quest"

TNG: "Shades of Gray", the really low-budget, terrible finale of season 2 where Riker has a virus that ~~makes him relive memories~~ turns the show into a clipshow.

I think The Orville improves over time - I initially hated both Isaac and Gordon, but they do good things with them later.

It only gets better (Except for A Mathematically Perfect Redemption). I will warn you the early part of season 1 is probably carried by reference humor, whereas the rest of the series begins to hold up on its own in addition to the quality reference humor.

I came into Debian with that philosophy as well, but I eventually gave up on all native packages as I got tired of having to deal with the rotation of some testing packages.

Honestly, 1 GB is an extreme it could get to, but most don’t because the majority of that initial 1 GB overhead is shared with other applications. Part of this is design issues in glibc preventing reverse compatibility with older glibc applications, and so applications need to have the right version of glibc with them to work. This adds some overhead, but is mitigated because many Flatpaks use the same glibc version.

Also, to be honest, storage is cheap these days, and really, I think the ease of Flatpak is worth what becomes a pretty minor storage sacrifice.

I use Testing on my desktop. When that happens, I just switch to the Flatpak.

Honestly, I’ve grown tired of Testing. I’ve started to become a fan of stable with a few Flatpaks.

I can see that. I nuked my Windows partition years ago, though. Honestly, if I find a software is jerk enough to block virtualization, I don't find it worth using.

Well, at least they were being on-brand. 😅

I’ve become a Flatpak fan for a similar reason.
