Additionally, I think 3.18 onward doesn’t even support theming engines. As said, though, GIMP is stuck on GTK2.

If you’re having a lot of trouble, perhaps just go with the Flatpak.

No. GTK 3 was a breaking change, and so was 4.

Please specify:

• What distribution
• What architecture
• What desktop environment
• What you have done so far to try to resolve the problem (e.g have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the package?)

Based on your host name, I’m assuming it’s Arch. From what I can tell from the terminal output, Ghostscript is missing (thus the libgs.so error). Maybe try reinstalling it with Pacman. Did you update your system and it somehow got autoremoved (I don’t know Arch that well)?

I almost had a panic attack until I realized this was for UBlock Origin Lite rather than the normal, manifest v2 version. Still mad at Mozilla,though.

I owe a lot to Wheaton. For one, if my mother hadn’t gotten a crush on him that was the final prod she needed towards Star Trek, then I by extension might not be a Trekkie as well. In addition, although I didn’t watch Tabletop, some of my family did, which is what got me into board games.

I could be totally delusional, but I think it’s just something like dd if=whatchamacallit.dmg of=whatchamacallit.img. I think you can get a net install image through macrecovery, which is a utility included with OpenCore packages.

I think this VM is still on Sonoma, actually. I still need to upgrade.

I can’t remember exactly what I did to get an installer image, but there’s a million shell scripts online for downloading macOS installer images. For booting it, I use this premade OpenCore for KVM/Proxmox. I have to check if I made other modifications (I run on an AMD CPU), but I think I mainly just had to set the serial and model - I personally used a 2019 Mac Pro.

My university’s introductory CS course has us using Java. It’s a web IDE within a textbook, but weirdly enough, I found it’s actually just connected to an AWS instance of Ubuntu.

I myself have been daily driving since my sophomore year of high school.

I think the answer is obvious. There are so many better alternatives available today. Some examples include:

• Windows ME
• Glorious Leader’s Red Star OS
• Temple OS
• Don’t use an operating system - sacrifice all your your time to studying the ways of the mighty Zarthadonatoxator instead. All hail Zarthadonatoxator! Zarthadonatoxator is the only true way!

That just sounds like classic Winsanity right there, not a hard drive issue.

What about Virt Manager GUI, which is what I use here? It’s a frontend for QEMU and it’s not that difficult, honestly.

iTunes will not work in Wine for the OP’s use. For one, the OP will have to use an old version from 2019. Also, it won’t be able to connect to any iDevices, as the driver support isn’t there.

I’d say play with Linux in Virtualbox or Hyper-V. I used the former before transitioning.

Also, I’d say don’t use Ubuntu; it jumped the shark years ago and has lost much of its quality.

I usually recommend PopOS for people new to Linux, as I find it to basically be decrapitated Ubuntu.

I don’t personally use openSuSe (I’m a big Debian/XFCE guy), but its YaST settings are more comprehensive than other distros.

However, I would warn you you might not be able to avoid config files and terminal sometimes, though. Maybe that’s not a bad thing, though; sometimes, the terminal and text files are the most efficient way to do something and a GUI simply can’t expose a program’s full power. That’s why I recommend you starting in a VM - you can have a bit of fun without the full commitment.

As for ffmpeg, I don’t know that there is a good GUI. Honestly, though, learning command line ffmpeg isn’t the worst idea - I’ve found it very useful and something I got used to. If that doesn’t work for you, then best of luck finding a GUI.

For trying to run applications designed for a different distro, you could use distrobox. However, it’s pretty rare these days that an application doesn’t have a universal Flatpak. Honestly, if an application is deliberately limited to one distro, I find it isn’t worth it and may signal low software quality.

For notepad++, you could use something like VSCodium, but honestly, if you’re used to Notepad++, just run it under Wine.

For virtualization, don’t use Virtualbox on Linux. It doesn’t use the built in hypervisor module, KVM, but its own proprietary one. I’d recommend the Virt Manager GUI instead.

Most distros seem to have OpenSnitch in their repos.

I found a prebuilt OpenCore for KVM. https://github.com/thenickdude/KVM-Opencore

I then changed the config.plist to make it think it was a 2019 Mac Pro.

And that’s why there’s a “-2” on the end of that arch vm - there was one before that I borked while trying to update it because I hadn’t used it in so long.

It’s a terabyte SSD. I’ve currently got 136 GB left on it. I think part of it might be they’re auto-expanding qcow2 images, so they don’t actually take up the full space provisioned for them.

10, plain 11, 7, and funny enough, Server 2022 are all legit licenses (I can get a key for server through my university). Actually, I’m pretty sure the 11 one, I upgraded a Windows 7 VM to 10, then to 11.

Every other Windows version that needs it (11 LTSC, 8.1, and Vista), I just temporarily host a phony KMS server whenever it needs to be reactivated.

I apologize for talking so much about Windows on a Linux sub. May Stallman break into my house and give me 10 lashes as I slumber.

I will clarify I haven’t watched a lot of Discovery, Enterprise, or Picard.

However, problems of the sort you mention (not necessarily the exact ones you mention, but similar or of concern) aren’t exactly new.

For instance:

• TOS showed Chekov assaulting a Klingon women (under the influence of an evil space alien before).
• It is heavily implied Spock did something with Saviik in III. Also, in general, they just ruined a good female character. (III might actually rival V in terms of being the worst Trek film.)
• TNG did “Code of Honor”.
• Also, TNG very much did weird things to Troi, including rape to rape-adhacent things. Not necessarily as bad as T’Pel, from what I can tell, but still messed up nonetheless.
• I’m sure there’s an example for DS9, but my mind subconsciously puts it in a pedestal and is blocking me at the moment.
• VOY unnecessarily sexualizes Seven.

I think the truth of all Star Trek is it is flawed, but that we can critically acknowledge those flaws while managing to look past them so we can appreciate and enjoy the good parts.

Don’t blame Janeway. The real culprit is the same person who killed trans icon Jadzia Dax: Rick Berman. 😉

In all seriousness, I agree with you. Seven was a good character that the writers and producers made some egregious mistakes with.

Ah crap. You win.
