/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

To be completely fair, a competent Linux enterprise desktop team would force regular kernel and package updates on the users, too. Keeping up to date is crucial to network security and y'all have all kinds of juicy stuff on your work machines, regardless of the underlying operating system.

It's not the concept of updating that's the problem; it's that Windows's process gets in the way of your work and doesn't make its status clear. You can be stuck on 90% for thirty minutes, and all you can do is wait with fingers crosses.

When updating on Linux, it's usually dead clear what it's updating and very forthcoming about any errors that have come up. Also, I can usually still at least check my e-mail while updating my Linux packages, if not most of what I usually do, and just restart when it's convenient.

I didn't take into account this nuance. I agree.

Yeah, but with immutable desktops it's just rebooting at your convenience and be done. Rolled that out for a few customers in the past two years.
