An update: According to S2 E10 Sanctuary, the guy below the Ferengi (not shown in this screenshot) is stated to be Plix Tixiplik, who had previously shown up in TNG, further affirming them being previous Trek actors.

I think it’s mistly okay. I had a bit of misery with my 8852BE on my new Thinkpad E16 (the card would just disconnect from the system until the next reboot occasionally), which was solved with some kernel parameters I found online.

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 don’t know. You should make sure it doesn’t have a Realtek Wi-Fi card. Otherwise, it looks fine. I found the Linux Hardware report for it here: https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=7144bb41

I think the price to performance doesn’t look the best, though. Maybe go for a Thinkpad instead?

In my personal opinion, the lack of GTK4 a plus - that makes it lighter and easier to port. Bonus points for their choice being OpenGL. That is technically a minus on theming, but I feel like one does not typically theme games, which often need to have their own style.

I do concede that most people probably have GTK4 installed for something anyway, so if this application were written in GTk4, it most likely wouldn't take up extra space on their machine.

In addition, I don't like GTK4 due to client side decorations and those kinds of applications overall just tending to be more GNOME-oriented. Now I wouldn't call GTK4 the spawn of evil - I still use GTK4 applications when they're the best tool for job, especially when it comes to Upscalr or GNOME Clocks. It's just not my favorite GUI toolkit.

I'm guessing that other 0.7% is the Makefile.

In their normal state, yes. What I’m saying is in theory, if enough of one species were assimilated, could that be changed?

I've always thought about how many beings with one belief would the Borg need to assimilate to see a great effect. For instance, if the Borg assimilated trillions of Ferengi (however that happened), would the Borg start suddenly trying to seek out profit?

"We are the Borg. Your biological, technological, and financial distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is not profitable!"

Reminds me of how my SSDs (both literally brand new) kept spitting out error messages in smartctl. As it turned out, this was a smartctl bug and I was able to install the Debian backports version to get a version with the fix.

Also, you know the Borg are horrifying when they're even putting up a fight with Apollo.
