Because it’s Into Darkness, or because it’s Star Trek?

Lower Decks!
Interesting. I wonder if it’s an incompatible UEFI/BIOS? Both of the machines I put it on were fairly new, one was first boot on a server I built, the other was a recent laptop that I decided to run it on for a while.
It still works for installing the OS though, at least in the case of Nix. I’ve not tried Guix so far, but I’ve installed NixOS on two machines in the past year using Ventoy.
I’m looking forward to having a Star Trek game that sounds like it has the feel of Star Trek! I’ve been waiting for the Steam release, and I’m curious to see what it’s like.
I know my use case isn’t the standard for everyone, but at this moment I have six different Linux distros in use. I keep my most commonly used ISOs on a Ventoy so I can easily install an OS on a machine I’m rehabilitating, or maybe just because I want a change of pace. I could write the ISO I want to the drive every time I want to change something, but it’s a waste of time when I can have 15 or 20 of them ready to go on one drive. It’s just my particular use case, I’m sure others have other reasons they prefer it.
I’ve definitely done that before! I’ll use a Ventoy as a portable OS to test things I don’t want to break my main system, then shut it down to reset to normal. It’s nice to not need a second stick to bring in or save other files while doing that.
I’m going to do that, I didn’t realize that was possible! Thanks!
It would definitely be worth checking out, I wiped all of my individual sticks after I started using it. Also, I don’t know if the speed would make much difference in your use case, but SanDisk 32GB USB3.0 drives are usually less than $8.
Check out Ventoy! Unless you need a single ISO on the drive, it’s just something you install to it and then copy and paste ISOs to the folder on it. No flashing needed, it runs them for you. I’ve got 128GB drives almost filled with every ISO I could possibly want.
One can always hope! While Star Trek collectibles are often expensive, they are something I’m willing to dig up the money for!
They are generally really good quality, especially the XL ships. Just judging by the ones I have though, I’m not sure about the others. I can definitely understand them not being worth the money to everyone though. I did get a few of the smaller ships, but I wasn’t as impressed with them. They generally feel and look cheaper, there’s just not as much detail.
I got an email from them on this. Sad that they’re not doing it anymore, but I was able to get all of the ships I really wanted! I would still like the 1701-A, 1701-C, and DS9 all in XL, but I just can’t justify the cost right now.
I didn’t realize it could be installed already, I’ll give that a go. Thanks!
I like it! It was the first distro I used when I started using Linux full time. It just works most of the time, (other than the Pop Shop) and fixes most of the issues I have with Gnome. I’m looking forward to seeing how Cosmic works once it is ready to go, and I’m hoping their new shop I just read about works well!
When I first started using it I wanted something that was far away from the Windows look, and it does it well. Maybe it’s weird, but having it look wildly different from Windows put me in a different mindset and helped me learn the Linux way of doing things rather than trying to make Linux work like Windows.
I’m still running it on my main gaming rig, but I’ve been doing a lot of experimenting on my other computers. I’ve gotten to really like both Budgie and Plasma since then, and I’m using distros with those DEs on them on two of my other computers.
Sounds good, thanks for the input!
Thanks for the input! I had crossposted it to the .world instance as well, and someone there had suggested a tight crop like this which I really liked.
I will definitely try what you suggested! Editing is something that I would like to dig into more.
That’s sad. While I didn’t enjoy every aspect of it, I quite enjoyed it overall. I’m happy to hear season 3 isn’t supposed to be the last for SNW though.
Ah, got it! I agree on Dukat too, I just haven’t seen any other TV series with a villain that good.
