on Diving into Plasma Bigscreen · c/kde · 11 pts · 1y

Glad to see some work being done on Plasma Bigscreen, I recently discussed TV UIs a bit with a friend of mine who currently does a lot of their gaming on a TV and will probably switch that computer to Linux when Windows 10 support ends.

That's fair, but by that accounting it's probably better to say that when you buy something for $10, $1 goes to the worker, $1 goes to the company, and $8 goes to other companies who then pay their workers, etc.

Of course they exist, but they're likely not factored in to the cost of the good you're purchasing. The worker isn't going to make any more money if you buy a product. (Unless there's a commission, I suppose)

When you buy something from a big corporation, unless you're tipping (and frequently even if you are tipping) usually $0 goes to the workers. It all goes to the company.

The biggest thing for me is that a lot of them don't officially support dual-booting on one disk, e.g. Kinoite. I like to have multiple distros installed so I have a fall-back. I love using Tumbleweed for gaming, but I'd love to use an atomic distro for my development work. But I don't want to use one in an unsupported way, as that defeats the point in my eyes.

I haven't done it in a bit, but you should be able to do Windows startup repair from a USB (possibly a Windows install USB), which I believe can restore the bootloader. I'd recommend disconnecting all drives other than the Windows one when doing the repair.
