I swear Ubuntu does something - I have run different distros in equally-specced VMs, some with GNOME, and Ubuntu by far performs the worse. Sometimes, it’ll actually take 30 seconds to respond to a simple button click.
When I have to test builds with what’s in Ubuntu repos, I usually avoid using Ubuntu directly and opt for a derivative like PopOS (which has unfortunately fallen behind on getting to Ubuntu 24.04).
I’ve long wanted to make Shaxs ear rings, although I only have a red Lower Decks uniform right now because I did Boimler last year, and I’ve toyed with the idea of reusing it to do a Vendome this year (probably won’t happen, honestly), so it’ll be a while before I can rationalize getting another Starfleet uniform.
