The space station in 2001 A Space Odyssey had the gravity problem solved. This should have been the way the International Space Station should have been designed.

The EA ships in B5 had spinning sections. I’m not counting the White Stars, Excalibur and others built with alien technology.

It doesn’t need to be a ring at all; it just needs to rotate. A cuboid spacecraft with a counterweight at the end of a long tether could be just as effective.
