The first improvement (Media Foundation by FFMPEG) could be significant. Currently, VALVe generates large shaders to re-render those Media Foundation videos into other free codecs. These shaders can be several gigabytes in size for some games with lengthy videos. With FFMPEG, those videos could be played without being re-encoded as shaders.

TLDR:

• New Media Foundation backend using FFMpeg.
• Initial support for network sessions in DirectPlay.
• New Desktop Control Panel applet.
• Various bug fixes.

Hi!

I made my own inmutable distro using buildroot (https://buildroot.org): https://simplek8s.org

This distro is just an AIO kernel image that will bootstrap everything in RAM. You can mount additional devices for data persistence (for example you can mount your storage in /var).

It’s illegal in Europe to have an opt-out checked by default, must be an opt-in unchecked by default. This is one of the reason that Microsoft has always troubles in Europe about privacy and opt-out services.

localhost

Maybe this functionality was replaced by the next thing?

Automatic root filesystem soft-reboot: systemctl automatically reboots into a new root filesystem located at /run/nextroot/.
