that's the beauty of distros, those that want traditional package structure can still use a distro that does.

Even the current flatpak first distros like OSTree spins of Fedora (Silverblue, Kinoite et al) provide mutable containers for using any package format you like.

Sorry I didn't see a notification for this.

It's a different work flow installing software. Flatpak first mentality, then install stuff in a Toolbox container, if that doesn't work layer the rpm.

Being able to rebase has been helpful, I've based forward to rawhide a few times to try new packages and then rebase back to stable.

You lose things like being able to use packages out of copr, but used to only really use that to test new versions of KDE. However the devs created a branch for KDE testing anyway, so nothing lost.

Happy to answer any specific questions you might have

This is how the renfair types on Hysperia talk.

Billups would not be impressed

Show me a good quality panel in a dumb TV that is not an outdoor advertising panel priced for commercial purposes and I'll throw money at it

You can get usb-c aux adapters that split off a charge port too, they aren't very expensive either

Erin MacDonald interview

NS: So speaking of cool, you are now a science consultant for the franchise. Tell me how that came about, and what your duties involve.

EM: Yeah, this is a dream job. This is as good as it gets.

...

They’re realizing how effectively Star Trek can be used to teach science, they really want to capture that, and with Star Trek having this big resurgence, and having all of these shows now being developed, they realized that having someone who is a behind the scenes person as well as a representative for teaching science through Star Trek would be an advantage to them.

So that’s what they’ve hired me to do. I’m working this year on retainer for the Star Trek franchise. That doesn’t say that every show is using me, but I’m available to any shows that do want to use me, and to try and keep track of all the technology and all of the travel and all of the stuff that they mention. All of these series are coming out at different points in different timelines, and someone’s gotta keep track of all of that. And they are, but it helps having me who can just focus on the technology and the technobabble and the galaxy and to try to keep that all straight. So it’s really exciting and I can’t wait for the stuff that I’ve worked on to actually start airing so that I can talk about it!

confirms Mack as consultant

There are other resources and tweets out there confirming as much.

Don't assume I'm a "nutrek" hater. I love new Trek mate, I buy the discs, I stream it, I've got the eaglemoss models! I use to defend the spore drive as a cool use of subspace domains or that Picard season one is a good remix of the themes of the episode tapestry all of which earned me many down votes on parts of reddit.

I can still be critical when parts of it could IMHO be done a little better, and as I said I'm glad that new Trek really is trying

What's taters, precious?

When millions of dollars are at stake in the streaming wars, and I see dozens of near-zero-cost posts about how “this is exactly the Trek all us old Trek fans have been waiting for dudbebrodudes!!
