I've been following the Mister FPGA project and just set up my new one. It's a great project. However I do not quite understand what the motivation of these consolized Misters are. It's going to take significant software development effort to make a Mister completely polished, and it is such a niche target audience I'd think it wouldn't be worth it.

I actually prefer shows that have smaller stories to tell throughout rather than one large story, so we actually agree here. In these cases if the show loses quality at any point, then I can stop watching without leaving as much plot development unresolved. The downside is now you're either confining each story to a smaller runtime or you're chopping up a larger plotline into these smaller runtime units.

I suppose this is how I would put it: TV shows are a superior format for character development through smaller storylines. This is why Breaking Bad works so well. Sure you could say it's one large story told across multiple seasons, but the way it is told is through smaller stories that can almost stand on their own. The larger story isn't so much a story but one really long thread of character development of Walter. Movies have a disadvantage with character development due to the lower total runtime, but the singular story ends up more rich. One 2hr movie can often feel more satisfying that several hours of a TV show due to how little the viewer needs to invest both mentally and time-wise. That said, there are exceptions to these generalities I'm making, and I'm not exactly an expert when it comes to either of these mediums.

usually TV has the more interesting story to tell.

Hard disagree. I have always thought that movies have had stronger stories due to the fact that they have a much more focused story to tell. TV shows have a lot more time to fill, which leads them to bringing in random B-plots that often end up as distractions from the main story rather than supporting detail. The investment that a TV show demands is often not worth it in my experience, because 9/10 times the show loses steam before they can tie up the plotlines I care about. For every Breaking Bad, there are a ton of Yellow Jackets, Westworlds, etc. I find it much easier to curate a list of movies than a list of shows.

Maybe if you're going to theaters like AMC. The locally run theaters in my town are great.

I used KISS for a while and found mlauncher, which is similar in concept, to work better for me. I had to force KISS to restart frequently enough where it became a problem.

I'm aware. Krohnkite got updated to support 6

Even if you want tiling, Krohnkite is available for Plasma 6. It was enough for me to switch away from Sway, since I care less about minimalism.

plenty of it doesn’t come from a company doing lousy stuff like this

So you only play indie games? Because that's basically the only way you avoid "companies doing lousy stuff."

I don't know why an MSN link was used instead of a direct link to the article:

Nothing really stands out. Looks like just more Aliens. I liked Evil Dead 2013, so I'll hold my judgement.

I would argue that it is better to have two separate drives for the installation. It simplifies things for non tech savvy people, and I believe Windows has less of an opportunity to mess with your linux install, such as messing with the efi partition.
