Quark OS is notorious for pop up ads and dark patterns. But it does come with access to some of the best online markets and online tongo in the quadrant.

More Quark OS features:

the only distro with an uninstall fee
Quark AI pops up when it thinks you’ve said, typed, or thought a marketable term
you have to purchase keystroke credits
your computer will resell any unused CPU and memory capacity for you. You get some of the profits as an incentive (more if you’re ferenghi).

You may remember the Debian/Denobulan logo from my comment under this old post of yours with Phlox's face on Tux's body: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/24210093

Also, shoutout to this post full of Star Trek terms swapped into streaming service logos for also providing me with some of the inspiration to do this: https://lemmy.world/post/22402153

Yes, it took me that many months to finally get around to finishing this project.

I hear that the Tuvix OS is dead, having been cancelled against its will by the Janeway...
