gollark: I don't know how it gets the actual potatOS startup.
gollark: The issue is that somehow the MBS installer copies the *real* startup and that gets run, and then I have no idea, but actually it might not get run.
gollark: It's in.
gollark: It should.
gollark: Weird. It should support MBS but startup just isn't run.
