I know mine isn't among the available countries.

Literally WHAT?
Shows can end properly, or get canceled. Whether it's a soft cancel (e.g. the decision is taken mid-season and they hurry to wrap it up) or a hard cancel (between seasons), that's another story.

Examples:
Ended properly: Carnival Row, Battlestar Galactica
Soft canceled: Star Trek: Discovery
Hard canceled: Jericho, Shadow and Bone, Dark Matter, Dead Boy Detectives and a shit -ton of others.

Reason #3 is why I stopped watching ongoing TV series, and whenever I see an "ended" TV series, I first check whether it was canceled or not, and if it's canceled, I don't watch it, unless it's clear that it wrapped up gracefully.

It got canceled, so, probably not.
I strongly dislike canceled shows.

See? Your nuts are safe.
Now, seriously, I haven't been following Andor. Good for it to end properly.

FTFY.

Note: I have no problem with products costing more money than they can make back, but I bet your left nut against your right nut Andor will be canceled. Very low chance there will be a Season 3.

I was joking about your nuts. Not about Andor being very likely canceled, though.

Charlie's Angels was cheesy AF, but they were honest about it. It mixed organically with the action.
Wonder Woman (I don't remember which one I watched) actress meant business. She looked and acted in a way that yelled "do NOT mess with me".
Here's another favorite of mine: Xena, the Warrior Princess. Lucy Lawless was top-tier. She gave you the impression she could casually stroll towards you, rip one of your feet off your body and beat you to death with it, without breaking a sweat. Perfectly in line with the character.

So, yeah, your comparison doesn't stand.

Yes. It's also a universe where everything fits together and the focus is on the matter at hands. It's a universe filled with professionals, where protagonists respect each other, even when they don't agree with each other. Hell, even enemies respect each other, most of the time.

The new Star Trek flix and TV Series are anything but.

It's the difference between "how the natural order of things should be" and "how some insecure dude or dudette thinks things should be".

Star Trek: TNG felt natural, something we all could strive for. Recent Star Trek feels like an adult kindergarten filled with insecure plebs who always talk about their poorly understood feelings and have zero sense of responsibility.

That's whataboutism 101.

Of course all operating systems have issues, and of course there will be a percentage of people who experience them.
But this particular thread was about GP saying:

From this point of view, it still has some work ahead.

I am not afraid of Linux, mate. More than half of my PCs and laptops run Linux, some are dedicated servers, some have specialized tasks, some are old enough that only Linux works on them.

I was merely debating an over-generalizing argument.

Also, Linux is only free as far as monetary expense goes. Most often, that is the smallest cost.

Cable TV didn't allow you to pay-per-view. Cable TB didn't allow you to watch the latest releases. There was no streaming library. There was no "on-the-go" option for mobile devices.
(at least in my country)

Cable TV and what I am talking about couldn't be more different.

My Android phones look and act as if they have totally different operating systems.
My (non-Wi-Fi) router has a certain OS flavor on it. My Wireless APs (same brand) have a different OS flavor. My switches have yet other flavors on them, or the interfaces look totally different from each other.

You're basically saying all ICE cars are the same, because all of them have ICE engines.

That's the whole point, actually: if you can't do that using click - next - next - pick some option - next - next - done, then Linux distros are not ready to become regular desktop user OSs.

Not if you have two brain cells to rub together. You can iterate on the result, ask for sources, then click the damn links. Still a way better experience than hunting for the information through the "web-sewage" that Internet has become.

I look at this from a regular information consumer point of view.
Option A: Use a regular search engine, look up the information, comb through umpteen websites, endure their ad-infested articles, sigh through bad writing, repeated paragraphs, needlessly complicated introductions, SEO-optimized writing styles, also avoid AI-generated articles, stumble upon paywalls...
Option B: Fire up my favorite LLM portal flavor, ask the damn question, get the information, maybe iterate upon it a couple times, then access the correct article from the correct website.

I'll take option B, thank you.

And no, it's not my responsibility, as a "simpleton user", to consider whether the LLM solution behaved well when obtaining that data. That's between them and the original data provider.

Point is: I will choose to use the most efficient method.

And, yes, I would love to have a theoretical "global news pass" subscription available to me, or a "global movie/TV pass", replacing the endless amount of separate subscriptions which I would maybe use 1% of each.

No, it is not. While Marketing tends to exaggerate its capabilities, I have never seen such claims.
