There’s a whole playlist of them by this guy - one for every series, and then some more.
And don’t forget this classic for another person: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oiSn2JuDQSc&t=7s&pp=2AEHkAIB
Honestly, I’ve been tempted by a Kobo lately; I have a lot of Star Trek RPG and comic book PDFs/ePUBs that I got through Humble Bundle over the past couple years.
Kobo seems like the least horrible brand I can get for a reasonable price with a reasonable screen quality; as pleasantly simple and reliable as they seem, and as nice as electronics re-use is, I’m not sure that one Sony e-reader that’s as old as my younger sibling fulfills my use case.
Though honestly, if you have other recommendations for a Linux-friendly color e-reader, I’d be glad to hear them.
Honestly, I have mixed feelings about this.
I’m very squeamish about adding more than the bare minimum external repos, though less so about extrepo stuff. I’m honestly worried this is just going to make it very easy for people to find new ways to break their systems; then again, that may be less likely to happen for the user demographic of Debian, and in the end, that’s no reason not to add a feature this convenient.
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianNet
It’s an official Debian address, and the main page redirects to .org. I think it has more broad use now, but I think it’s often been used for stuff like media codecs they can’t include in the main distro. Often used for side projects.
What GPU model is it? And what distro are you using?
Did you install separate AMD drivers? You’re generally not supposed to do that; it’s just plug-and-play in the kernel and MESA (assuming the version is new enough), and you usually don’t need to download separate drivers.
Also, what kernel flags did you have to use?
It’s just that I’m a bit skeptical any of this is actually the fault of the AMD Linux kernel driver, and I would guess there’s some underlying software or hardware issue like a faulty ACPI implementation on the motherboard. I’m not saying AMD can do no wrong, but in this case, making blanket statements about the quality of AMD GPU drivers may be premature.
As others have said, “stable” and “unstable” have a different connotation in the FOSS world.
Rolling releases probably don’t have more software crashes than their stable counterparts, which is what you meant.
However, some use cases prefer that they are able to use the same config for a long time, and when software updates frequently, system administration can become a cat-and-mouse game of “What config broke this time?” That’s not to say rolling release is bad, but sometimes it’s like using a power drill instead of a screw driver.
Also, I definitely feel like a stable distro is more likely to survive a software update after not using the computer for a few months to a year. Granted, I’ve had a Debian Testing (rolling release) install that did survive an upgrade after a year of non-use, but I’ve also seen Arch VMs that broke after just a couple months of non-use, forcing me to reinstall.
I went into this Phoronix article half-expecting someone to come up with a venomous, nasty comment over even something this mundane.
Heck, if random Ensign Jo is at the helm and waits for the right moment, they could probably warp the ship into a star before anyone can realize what’s going on.
Though I think one probably one of the most potentially deadly characters in the franchise by sheer skill might be D’Vana Tendi, considering how she went through all those Romulan guards in Veritas, her ability to take over a ship, her ability to switch between an completely unintimidating and absolutely terrifying demeanor, etcetera.
USB Wi-Fi adapters are usually fine. I do have a PCI-E Wi-Fi card in my desktop from my Hackintosh days, though, which has gone unused since my home now has lots of ethernet connections.
Of course, it was really just Santa pulling some Jason Vigo-type bullcrap, doing anything he could to offload him to someone else.

Note: I'm not casting all Republicans as a "skin of evil" here; I feel many of them are just people trying to make their way in the world whose daily struggles and fears have been amplified manipulated by the "skin of evil", an administration that constantly denies human rights and demonizes (as well as convinces its followers to partake in the demonization of) people who, for the most part, are also just trying to make their way in the world. I've known Republicans, and while the people they give their support to frighten me, most of the ones I've know aren't demons.
EDIT: To be clear, I’m not saying Republican voters did nothing wrong, that they don’t deserve consequences, or that we should avoid making them feel bad. In many ways, the “skin of evil” is their collective wrongs and the way they enabled the current horrors. The evil, however, is a subset of a person (sometimes almost the whole set, though), while the “skin of evil” is the set of evil. Also, I admit I feel a bit on the availability heuristic and that “most of the ones I know” isn’t the strongest evidence.

Once by Archer in ENT:"Carpenter Street" (though T'Pol did more of the work), and another by Paris and Tuvok in VOY:"Future'sEnd".
No answers like, "They're all from Earth", "They're all in some version of Starfleet or United Earth Fleet", etcetera.
My Answer
All three have stolen a Dodge-branded car.
In fact, Paris and Archer stole nearly exactly the same kind of blue Dodge Truck, Archer in ENT:"Capenter Street" and Paris in VOY:"Future's End". I found this out while browsing the Memory Alpha facts for the Enterprise episode.
Bonus if you can think of other weird ones.
I usually hate it when studios wipe something off the face of the earth for a bunch of tax BS or whatever, but please do this to Star Trek: Scouts.
What pains me is it is certainly possible to make a good Star Trek kids show that isn’t just iPad baby slop. Like, just have a show about a bunch of kids having fun around Starbase 170 or something, with hints of what the often-exhausted Starfleet and civilian parents are going through.
But no, most of the brainless executives have long since decided kids (and almost everyone, honestly) don’t need quality of any sort.
