i'm really enjoying how kirk and data have been updated to modern sensibilities.
kirk is no longer the womanizer and leading man from the impression that casual viewers got from him (despite it being off from his actual character), but he still charms and the physical version of data is no longer the wooden automaton that the middle aged back in the 80's expected androids to be and is simply the human he had always aspired to be now.
I use KDE plasma 5 atm and i planning on an upgrade to 6 soon; but it's my daily driver so I've dragging my feet on it for a couple weeks now.
What happened when tried troubleshooting those problems you had?
