Basically. I have to say, he was mostly a good uncle figure for the rest of the series. If I went beyond a casual analysis and started giving each character a number every episode, I might find counterexamples.

Also, I don't count Resolutions as a spike since to me, that mostly felt natural, though it's been a hot minute since I last watched it.
The first Paris spike is Year of Hell, or that time he dated Kes... oh crap, I need to go fix Harry real quick for dating Tom's daughter.
Anyhow, the second Paris spike is that time he got romantically involved with a starship.
The Chakotay spike is mostly my bitterness about the pairing with Seven.
I in general just kind of found the entire Seven-Chakotay romance really weird.
In my opinion, Seven wasn't necessarily emotionally mature enough for a romantic relationship. I don't mean to call Seven a child, but because she'd been part of the Borg since she was a kid, it meant Seven never learned some important social abilities. It's not necessarily my place to judge, but I feel like Seven was nudged towards romantic relationships at a point in her life when she wasn't necessarily ready.
Of course, this is really complicated, bordering on a c/DaystromInstitute question. You know, rather than boring you with the details, I'll actually just go create that post real quick, assuming a suitable one doesn't exist.
Also, I'm a just a bit bitter the whole Chakotay-Janeway thing never worked out. I get there was professionalism stuff, but dating your astrometrics officer is probably weirder. I usually don't particularly root for couples in shows, but there was legitimate chemistry between Janeway and Chakotay, especially in VOY:Resolutions.
Yeh, but I only bumped him to score 10/100, so I didn't consider it that huge a bump since it's biologically necessary.
Synonyms...
Though DS9 breaks the vegetarianism part... and the always right part.

In all seriousness, I always love a Star Trek episode/film involving a crew’s misadventures in the past (except the whole ENT space Nazi thing, which I have neither watched nor particularly want to watch).
Like, why the heck is Oracle still on this Earth? The only thing I can think of is MySQL, to which my response is, "Just use MariaDB."
To be fair to Phoronix, I hardly think they're the worst offender in Linux space; I find their Linux coverage to be the least terrible online. They cover new kernel and software developments pretty well.
Other Linux-focused sites seem to mostly consist of clickbait "Ditch Windows 11 headlines", fleeting Linux apps, explaining something that there are already vast amounts of quality articles for, and/or thinly-veiled advertisements.
That is not to say Phoronix is perfect; I don't necessarily enjoy having to run my ad blocker there. However, it's not like it's different on other sites. Comparatively, I find Phoronix to be a decent quality Linux outlet.
To be fair, it would be weird for Google NOT to support Linux, as I believe they use Debian Testing internally.
Personally, I find Debian pretty good these days. I used to default to Testing, but I've gravitated towards stable.
Honestly, in the age of Flatpak and Steam, almost any distro works.
Alright. Here's my Daystrom Institute post on it.
