Debian Stable. It doesn't break with updates, it doesn't break when I try to customize it, it has all the software you could ever want, and it just works. It's robust, elegant, and free forever.

For most people I'd recommend a derivative like Mint, Q4OS, or SpiralLinux, since those smooth out a sometimes annoying setup process, but for me vanilla Debian is perfect.

What makes this extra confusing to me, is that this doesn't seem to happen to the same extent for Invidious instances. I've only needed to swap between two instances on Clipious, whereas on LibreTube I was hopping across their entire instance list and sometimes not finding even one working instance.

I listen to music all the time, so probably, but most of the true sensory overloads I remember were when the album I was playing already finished and I still had them on... so I suppose I'll keep that in mind, that transitioning out of noise cancelling may be easier during music.

I suspect a lot of "evil admirals" were promoted by votes from, or just to appease, reactionary political movements.

Memes go in !risa, fan theories go in !DaystromInstitute, and Star Trek related off-topic discussion go in !Quarks, otherwise, I don't see why not.

The problem is, for me, noise cancelling often either isn't enough, or creates a much bigger sensory problem when I inevitably have to take the headphones off.

And the settings with a big enough loudness problem to justify noise-cancelling tend to be ones where having to turn it off is inevitable before the noise dies down (to talk to someone)... so I usually don't bother.

This is weirdly common, from what I've heard. You'd think it would be obvious that a disorder (or neurotype, or whatever you call autism) requires accommodation, which requires self-advocacy, which requires being allowed to know what's going on with you.

Yes and no. X11 is the old window system for Linux (and most Unixes), but it was very much not designed with security in mind, and has become difficult to maintain to the point that the only new updates made to it are to help with Wayland backwards-compatibility. Wayland is its de facto successor, and most new Linux desktop development is based on Wayland rather than X11.

VOY: "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy" comes to mind.
