Quoting: pleasereadthemanualMicrosoft mostly stopped its campaigning against Linux by the end of the 2000s?

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualIf you're wondering why H.265/HEVC (and now VVC) never got much adoption compared to its predecessor, this is why.

I converted all of my videos to H265 back then with VLC and saved around %80-95 disk space. Do you think I should convert them to AV1, would I reclaim even more disk space? I don't care about patents because both Arch Linux and VLC just ignore their existence and ship all the codecs.

Quoting: LanzIt would be awesome if itch.io was integrated into the Heroic Games Launcher next.

Why? Heroic was created because a native launcher for Epic Games does not exist, while itch has a Linux native (and afaik open source) client. Heroic devs are planning to add Amazon support later this year.

You can export game saves, I don't know if they are compatible with PC builds of a game though.
