I won’t say vlc is my favorite UI but it does all of this.

It doesn’t mean anything for desktop users, it’s just a new standard that could have wider support than VAAPI since it’s part of Vulkan. Mostly embedded devices lacking VAAPI support today, though nvidia requires a third party implementation so this might improve that situation.

Youtube artificially limits the resolution, on mine if you cast the exact same video it doesn’t impose that limit and works fine.

While iOS doesn’t do this at the OS level I’ve never seen an app that didn’t have these options. I assumed it’s required by Apple.

This oversimplifies reality. Fedora has a community and actively makes decisions RHEL has no interest in. But yes they also help with testing many things.

They literally paid Collabora to do FOSS work?

It already exists, the appstream spec can associate binaries with metadata.

In my personal experience macOS is fine but updates are often buggy or regress performance. Linux has just been the more polished option. Plus it just has a nicer desktop and apps.

It’s technically problematic. The ISP should have little idea of domains you visit. And they can’t already when everything works.

I’m not sure anything was clarified. Nothing about that conversation is special or unique?

Linux has good support for m1 and m2, so for newer devices running a custom desktop would be neat.

This is how modern x11 worked too since nobody uses software rendering with x primitives anyway.

“It works” is the bare minimum. Software is maintained for decades and should have a higher bar of quality.

I assume you’re downvoted because Microsoft has to want that.
