LCARS already has a UNIX kernel. Didn't you know that?

There is an LCARS desktop environment for Linux https://lcarsde.github.io/

Canonically in Voyager their computers run macOS. BSD is pretty great.

There a scene with a macOS cursor visible.

Mach/BSD 🤓

The actual kernel of XNU (ie. what's under the hood in macOS, originally by NeXT) is Mach which is a microkernel, and a chunk of FreeBSD is used to provide userland(ish) stuff like POSIX APIs, a UNIX process model on top of Mach, protocol stacks 'n shit.

Just eject the warp core ... and reinsert it again.

Like a battery when you want to restart your device.
