The average person who is installing Linux wants to be able to tinker.

The type of person who installs Linux in the first place is already extremely far from average.

I didn't say average person I said average Linux installer which is FAR from the average person.

ok wow lol well now I know you're sexist lmao

Zorin is a solid distro and is designed to appeal to Windows users.

Buuuut knowing what I know now I worry Zorin's simplicity could turn people off of Linux. Zorin is a good OS for your grandmother but the average person who would consider installing Linux wants to be able to tinker. Heck, I would consider the very act of changing your operating to be tinkering. Nobody accidentally stumbles installing Linux.

The options with Zorin are either use it as-is or risk breaking it. That's why I would personally recommend a KDE distro, probably something immutable like Fedora Kinoite. That way you can tinker to your heart's content with no fear of breaking it.

If you single out a female character who's not a Mary Sue as a Mary Sue for no reason other than because you personally don't the character, people will think you're sexist. Especially when you don't apply that definition to the white and male characters who more closely fit the established definition.

Well said. Prodigy was not for me. But I'm not making it my personality!

I was struggling to think of a character that was presented as "flawless" and Saru is the closest I could think of. I cannot conceive of a definition of "Mary Sue" that would apply to characters that that go to prison for mutiny. If Micheal meets the definition of a "Mary Sue" then Kirk, Sisko, Riker, Scotty, Wesley and Tom Paris do too but I suspect you would disagree with those being included.

Well said, except that TMP is pure cinema and you sir are worse than Khan Singh.

Someone once told me that Discovery had a "storyline" about a character coming out as nonbinary so I asked them if they could tell me what episodes this storyline took place or provide any details from this story because all I could think of was a five second scene with Adira that is never mentioned before or after. Of course they could not provide any evidence but they remained fully convicted that it did happen... somewhere.

Mary Sue

Is this a reference to Saru? Because I would argue strongly that he does not meet the definition of the term "Mary Sue":

"exceptionally talented in an implausibly wide variety of areas, and may possess skills that are rare or nonexistent in the canon setting. [...] lacks any realistic character flaws"

Saru was gifted and possessed "rare skills" yes, but was not without character flaws. For starters he sided with Burhnam during her mutiny and subsequent imprisonment.

Yeah when someone complains that Discovery redesigned the Klingons but won't complain about TNG redesigning the Klingons then you can know that they don't actually have strong opinions about the concept of a redesign.

Finally, something substantial. I was worried this would be "Star Trek: High School Musical" but this trailer makes it clear this isn't just a Trek show for tweens and teens.
