I only downvote hateful stuff or obvious bots and spam. The same as I do on anything with upvotes and downvotes.

It's just what you're used to. To me fedora seems weird and I don't know why people choose it over opensuse. To me opensuse feels like home.

Also yast is great and I don't get why more distros don't have a similar thing.

Mandrake 7 was the first one I installed on my pc. In those days you could buy a boxed version with about 10 cds to install from.

When I was about 9 my family went to the jorvik viking center in York. They had a ride thingy where you could be driven around a realistic viking settlement and whatever the fuck they used to make the realistic smells of smelly vikings and pig shit really fucked me up. No one else was that bothered but I couldn't eat properly for days.

I'm guessing whatever chemical they used really didn't sit well with me. It must have had a pretty extreme effect because that was 31 years ago and it was the first thing that popped in my mind when I saw this question.

Thanks, I should know that, I've seen every episode!

In a kind of sad way he does have a happy ending. I just don't want it to happen to him. Poor old Pike!

I'm constantly trying out all the ones I can find but so far connect is the only one where I can customise the colours. I love me a sepia theme!

Luckily it's also great in other ways.

A very TOS episode that I thoroughly enjoyed!

Can we let La'an have a few happy moments in this season? That woman must be riddled with PTSD by now.

It was great to finally get Pike back! Has he ever told his girlfriend that he's almost certainly going to be disabled? What a pickle he's in. I think if I were in his shoes I would have let the relationship end. The guilt must be driving him insane.

I feel like they might be messing around with the timelines so that they can save Pike from his horrendous fate and just say it's an alternate timeline compared to TOS. Normally I'd be against that, but it's Pike and I love him so much that I almost want them to do it.

I always end back up on leap when all the other distros piss me off, and I always wonder why I even bothered with anything else. It just works for me.

It is one of the best KDE distros, the yast config took is brilliant, the installer is great, it has fast servers in Europe (fedora installs and updates are way slower for me) and on top of all that it has a cool and instantly recognisable logo.

The only real nagative in my experience of opensuse is the long install times.

I am a pretty simple user though, I only really use Firefox and Emacs.

No way! Opensuse has always been perfect for me, I do usually use leap though.

I like it, it's an Ubuntu lts with a nice theme (I wish it had grey instead of just black and white though), wine integration to run compatible windows software and it's always just worked for me.

I don't like the fact that some things are locked out unless you pay for the pro version but I think that's just layouts and stuff.

I'd say it's good but like all of these Ubuntu derivatives you're almost always better off just using Ubuntu. Even people changing from windows to Linux, I'd still just tell them to use Ubuntu.

Kirk was superb, I don't think I could have accepted the car scene if it was anyone else. It's Kirk, of course he's going to drive like a nutter. I was genuinely shocked when he got shot. I thought there couldn't possibly be a way for him to make it but they still got me.

La'an has grown on me so much, she was the one I was most dubious about in the early episodes of season one. I felt really sorry for her at the end, losing Kirk and being unable to talk to anyone about what she's experienced. She's gone through some pretty serious trauma already due to her genes and name and now she's had to go through this pure insanity. I wonder what the significance of the watch is.

That was a beauty! I love this crew! Seeing them all back Una up made me quite emotional. I'm a soppy git.

Is it me or is SNW the best looking trek ever? Everything just looks so cool. I bloody love it.

I've got a friend that fast forwards through films and only plays the parts with fight scenes, car chases or explosions then he will tell people the film is shit if there's not enough of them.

Don't get me wrong, I was furious with Michael almost the whole way through!

I think they were trying to tell us the story of someone that struggled with starfleet principles but ends up finding their way and becoming a great captain, but she just pissed the fans off.

She did get a bit better, I now give her a pass because she told her boyfriend that if starfleet told her to she would just kill him.

She's still the least suitable captain of any show though, in my opinion.

I swear people that don't watch trek think it's just about lasers and technobabble.

I know people that refused to watch Discovery because 'they made it all woke and now it's all about women'.

I loved enterprise, I didn't think I'd be able to stop thinking 'that's the bloke from quantum leap' but he's captain Archer to me now.

Trip was great, I loved phlox, t'pol, porthos and Malcolm.

My favourite episode was the one where archer got his brain mashed by some anomaly and t'pol spent 12 years explaining the same thing to him every morning.

I kept prodigy until last because I was convinced that it would be too childish but it was superb!

I love murf!

Thanks! Honestly it was hard to resist starting again immediately!

The great thing about it is there is so much to get through, by the time you've finished it the memories of the beginning are fading.

I'm excited to watch it all again!

Voyager is weird, for the first couple of seasons I wasn't sure if I would like it much but by the end I absolutely loved it.

I thought it got a lot better towards the end of season 3 and carried on being good until the end, mainly because I got invested in seven of nine.

I don't want to spoil anything but the shit that Janeway does is crazy. She's mad and I love her.

I even loved the finale that everyone bitches about. It was perfect voyager weirdness.
