/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 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.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 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.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

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.)
I’m not fond of the DAX workstations. They seem to have a completely new UI every time I try them.
Atleast the memory stays across installs
Which is the one that comes with the hidden Cardassian virus?
Weyoun Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
This is easily the nerdiest thing I have ever seen and absolutely love it.
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.
Very nice :)
Wow, this is possibly the most stereotypically lemmy post ("lemmy users either like Star Trek, Linux or both") I've seen in a while.
Just need to add some communism reference or something and the holy trinity is complete
This isn't a Lemmy thread .... this is our thread
How about that? We’re defining our own culture!
Red Alert lmfao that's hilarious
There needed to be like a modem dialer or something named Uhura. Some communication app.
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).

Rule of Acquisition 8086: Unused RAM is wasted RAM
Dabo is included, where you play with real gold pressed latinum for a "reasonable" monthly fee.

They only come in lots of 100 gross.
TuvokOS
They tried to merge with NeelIX one time but the project was killed
I hear that the Tuvix OS is dead, having been cancelled against its will by the Janeway...
They branched it into Tuvox OS and Neelix OS
Ooh, that is a better fit than "Tuvok OS", given the prominent X in "Tuxedo OS" and its logo
Tuvok looks to have been X'd (cancelled) as well... 😜
No Qubuntu?
nor "q"bes
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?
Silikware here i come. It’s gotta be good if it has even half as many genetic enhancements as its namesake.
