I don't know much about Linux, but it's the system on the computer I share at home. I think I've become spoiled to it.

I recently started a new job and was issued a PC laptop. The amount of obnoxious pop-ups and AI crap that I can't seem to find settings to disable are infuriating. It's like the computer and the Google apps we use assume I can't do or figure out anything on my own.

Also, tangential, Gemini needs to stop suggesting itself - yes, I know you're there. I'm ignoring you because I can't seem to block you, but I wish you'd just leave me alone.

I honestly don't know what Linux is this has inspired me to ask in !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I don't use Linux or Apple. Just debloated Windows 11(Tiny 11).

I also don't watch Star trek or even watch TV.

We are out here. Enjoy your stay.

That reminds me. I need to rewatch DS:9

Just got Kubuntu set up, quite happy with it so far.

Kinda hit or miss on Star Trek. Lower Decks is just about the best show ever though.

(Mint is good, don't like Cinnamon all that much, and it's an Ubuntu derivative anyway, so figured Kubuntu would have KDE 'native')

(Tried Fedora, couldn't get codec/video stuff to work right)

(Steam is generally easier and more supported on Debian derivatives, at least for now)

If I'm only a fan of the OG Star Trek does that still count?

I thought I was a nerd until I got here, now im still a nerd but not a super nerd.

Dozens of us! Dozens, I say!

(But I do like Star Trek and use Linux, I just don’t make my presence here revolve around that.)

Im sure you do use linux in some way unknowingly :D

Phone, car, smart devices, kitchen appliances, whatever

No one suspects a thing

I have been a Trekkie long before I joined.

Pretty much my thing.

I've only installed Mint once, and I've only seen two of Abrams' Star Trek movies, both things happened about a decade ago. Do I still fit in?

Ditto. But from the looks of it I’ll have to learn Linux eventually. The upside is that there is enough information online for a noob to do it.

I use plenty of Linux on server side, just that I use Windows as my daily desktop OS for some godforsaken reason.

I actually got back to watching Star Trek recently!
