Now I'm (tentatively) excited to see how they'll outdo a season with a novel gimmick in each and every episode, including a musical and a crossover with a parody show, in terms of gimmicky weirdness.

Could you describe the issue in more detail, then? What happens when you try to play a video? If you get any error messages, please copy them.
It might not be Wayland-related at all.
I just tried installing Parole on my own KDE Plasma+Wayland system and it just works, aside from opening an external playback window, which feels a bit weird, but I'm assuming it's normal. The only display drivers available are X, but the "Automatic" pick works.
If it doesn't work for you, make sure xwayland is installed.
My second distro was Debian 8, initially with LXDE (which has barely changed at all since then, so it's still nostalgic) then later switching to KDE Plasma 4. I probably hold the most nostalgia for it, even more than I do for my first distro (Linux Mint 17). For a while I was into Plasma Netbook, which I find to be an especially weird, nostalgic product of its time, and the Oxygen theme in general is probably my favorite default look for any DE.
I was quite satisfied with Debian Stable for a few years on at least two different laptops, and felt I had found my "forever distro", until I got a Framework laptop whose AMD graphics were quite buggy on it. In order to get rid of all the issues, I had to upgrade to Testing and install a mainline Liquorix kernel (and along the way, I briefly made a Frankendebian and fiddled with kernel parameters). While my years of experience with Debian and derivatives has prevented me from breaking anything, I do wish I didn't have to use all of this beta-quality software just to prevent games from freezing and crashing constantly, just because I bought "new" (about a year old) hardware.
I still want to keep Debian, because I've found nothing else that works quite as elegantly or stably, but I'm hoping to find ways to get the performance I need without Liquorix, and if something forces me to reinstall between now and the time Debian Trixie becomes stable, I'll probably give Fedora or KDE Neon another try.
"Klingon ambient" would be a good concept for an album.
I proposed that resolution because it's the closest to 1920x1200, but keeping a 3:2 aspect ratio.
Glad we have a release date now. Although, I hope they go for weekly releases, because I don't want to feel obligated to binge watch it.
Like I said I've only seen the consensus classics there, and it's been a while. I'm planning to see the rest of it as the Greatest Generation podcast covers it. But it is also probably my least favorite Star Trek show.
TOS: The Cloud Minders. One of the show's extremely heavy-handed message episodes, this time about classism and labor rights. It's quite dramatically compelling in addition to expressing its ideas eloquently.
TAS: Beyond the Farthest Star. One of the more "normal" episodes of that series, but it really works for me.
TNG: Contagion. One of the most tense and action-packed TNG episodes, featuring computer malfunctions both amusing and terrifying, but also a great showcase for all the characters, and their ability to combine their talents to solve what seems like an impossible problem, to the point that it's one of the episodes that got me into Trek in general (alongside Remember Me).
DS9: Visionary. Pretty good episode of time travel weirdness, and one of my go to examples of what I think is best way to go about explaining time travel: don't explain it, just do whatever wacky shit you want and laugh off the paradoxes with a recurring joke. "I hate temporal mechanics!"
VOY: Latent Image. In addition to being yet another fascinating exploration of the rights and sentience of artificial life, with a hint of an ethical dilemma in there, I really relate to how the Doctor's trauma responses are described.
DIS: There Is A Tide. I love all of the scenes between Admiral Vance and Osyraa.
PIC: The Impossible Box. I remember that being one of the more tense and well-made episodes of the show, especially Soji's existential crisis and Picard's Borg flashbacks, although I find it hard to think in individual episodes with this one.
LD: Veritas. The show hadn't really clicked with me before this episode. I loved the whole theme about the lack of attention the command crew gives to the ensigns, and how this just adds to their problems.
I've only really seen the consensus classics of ENT, and while I have seen SNW and PRO, my favorites are all consensus favorites that get a decent amount of buzz already.
Remember Me was one of the episodes that got me into Star Trek. My parents loved TNG and Voyager, but it was one of the first episodes I actually sat down and watched with them, and the whole premise of everyone disappearing, and how Beverly figured out what was going on, hit my brain in just the right way.
Have you tried using different runners? According to ProtonDB Ape Out is completely supported by Proton, so maybe try a Proton runner instead of Wine.
