#Linux gains more critical #Windows apps: 3D Movie Maker and Space Cadet Pinball

source: theregister.com/oses/2026/05/1…

It's not only a native port, they also had to do more work to make it 64-bit clean, add native file load and save dialog boxes, #MIDI background #music via #FluidSynth, and a video player powered by #GStreamer – among other things. Currently, they're looking at making a #RaspberryPi version as well.

Who even needs #Microsoft #Windows anymore?

🌘 GitHub - pion/rtwatch：透過 WebRTC 與好友同步觀影，由伺服器端統一控制播放狀態
➤ 打造去中心化的即時同步影音劇院
✤ https://github.com/pion/rtwatch
rtwatch 是一款創新的影音同步觀影工具，其核心理念在於「集中化控制」。不同於傳統將影片檔案傳送給客戶端的做法，rtwatch 利用 WebRTC 與 GStreamer 技術，將影片處理作業完全交由伺服器端執行。系統僅向觀看者傳送當前的影音串流畫面，這不僅確保了所有參與者能精準同步播放、暫停與快轉操作，更有效地保護了原始影片資源，防止使用者在本地下載或快取檔案。無論是透過本地路徑還是遠端 URI，使用者都能輕鬆搭建專屬的即時同步劇院。
+ 這對於保護版權非常有幫助，影片內容完全留在伺服器端，使用者無法下載原始檔案，非常適合私人觀影分享。
+ 使用 GStreamer 處理串流是個很強大的選擇，雖然安裝依賴套件稍微繁瑣，但能實現這種低延遲的同步效果非常值得。
