Phasers or Bat’leths (Mek’leths are fine as well)?

We could also do a round of Chula, a solar sail race, ambo-jitsu, springball, darts, etcetera.

Burnham falls afoul of the “no promoted mains” rule, unfortunately.

I find it kind of sad they haven't done anything in the 2290s-2350s era. I think it would be fun to have a series with April in monster maroon coming up on his second retirement in the late 2310s or early 2320s.

The IDW miniseries Picard's Academy was set in this era (aligning with previous canon of when Picard went to the Academy). I enjoyed it (checked it out from my local library), though probably half just because of Spock's outfit, honestly.

EDIT: April probably wouldn't be the primary focus. It would probably focus on a diplomatic ship or maybe even the Academy or civilians. It probably couldn't be too action-based, as we don't want to undermine this being one of the most peaceful eras in Federation history - I worry to do anything interesting, you'd have to pull Disco-style shenanigans again. No matter one's opinion on Disco, I feel like it would be kind of obnoxious to do another "this secretly happened and no one knows about it" series.

This distro’s default background isn’t a knockoff of any particular popular non-*nix proprietary operating system’s default background:

Everybody knows glorious leader’s operating system. 😉

Honestly, rather than reinstalling, I’d suggest you boot into a live disk and use dd to copy your old disk over to the new one, then use Gpsrted or something to expand your partition. This worked very well when I upgraded the drives for my Debian install - I think it’s been two years since at thid point without any issues.

If you don’t have an extra drive slot, you might need to get an external adapter.

My only theory is they were kind of as prolific as the TOS film uniforms and lasted into the 2240s and were getting rare but still seen occasionally in the 2260s.

After watching other Star Trek shows, you'll find the true beauty is the vast majority of Lower Decks completely fits into canon, as "the true Star Trek lore" contains some ridiculous stuff.

I just realized something else - I think this episode might contain the first mention of Cetacean ops going on an away mission, which reveals a lot about how their Starfleet lives might work.

I still wonder about several things, which I’ve been wanting to make my own post about anyway and probably will soon.

I like Debian. To save you the misery, though, you should probably just use the OBS Flatpak with it. I used to be a “native” pedant, but these days, I at minimum consider Flatpak a VERY necessary evil, if an evil at all.

You dare defile Lower Decks by calling other stuff “More cannon”! Experience bij, petaQ! 😉

In all seriousness, though, I would say DS9. The first season is much better than TNG season 1 in my opinion - not perfect, but livable. It mostly gets better from there, though like VOY, be prepared for sudden urges for Rick Berman to “accidentally fall out an airlock”, if you know what I mean.

This might be tinted by DS9 being my favorite Trek series, although Lower Decks is putting up fierce competition for DS9’s top spot in my heart.

Every time I work with a Mac, Hackintosh, etcetera, the 5K upscale of XP Bliss is my default as a joke (except I think near the end of one school year, where I set the background to something from OS 9).

It was even my iPhone background for a while, though right now, it’s a random James Webb image.
