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.

    I just updated to Plasma 6.4.1 (from 6.3.5) on OpenSUSE TW, and it automatically applied the Ocean sound theme. This included a new sound when changing the volume, which is fine, but it's way louder and hurts my ears when using headphones, which is less fine (I have some sensory issues which may be related). I've figured out how to disable it, but is there a way to just turn it down?

    For now I've gone back to the FreeDesktop sounds (which has the much more pleasant to me popping sound) but I'd like to try out the Ocean sound theme without hurting my ears or disabling the volume control audio feedback.

    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.

    That just incentives devs to just push out whatever mess they currently have and say the game is released, and they'd do it unless Valve wanted to start moderating game again. At least right now the abandoned games are still labelled early access.

    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.
