I enjoy the Orville quite a bit, but think they focus too much in Isaac. Bordus was featured heavily as well, but to a lesser extend. I would like to see them shift their focus.
I watched TNG pretty recently for the first time and enjoyed, but didn’t love it. It aged pretty well, but still aged.
I recommend installing Ventoy onto an USB thumbdrive and booting into some of your candidates. Since it boots from USB the performance isn’t 100% representative, but you can check if you get any driver issues and how the DEs “feel”.
P.S. Eternity for Lemmy is making its first steps and was forked from Infinity for Reddit (I believe)
