Phoronix: Qt Multimedia Prepares For Qt 6 With Rewritten GStreamer Backend, Other Big Changes

Qt Multimedia should return for Qt 6.2's release later this year and is perhaps the module changing the most in its transition from Qt5 to Qt6...

i feel sorry to open source community for all what happened in last decade

Aside from GNOME3, GTK3, and Wayland I've been pretty happy this past decade. Sorry not sorry, but I still haven't had a good Wayland experience and I'll never get over what they did to GNOME and GTK versions 3.

• ZFS on Linux
• KDE Plasma
• no more ATI Catalyst
• AMDGPU came out
• Vulkan
• Steam Linux
• D9VK
• DXVK
• GalliumNine
• Wine
• RetroArch
• Zstd
• Lots of File System improvements across the board

Aside from Nouveau and Nvidia Firmware it's been an awesome decade if you're a Linux Gamer. And there is a lot more I'm missing and can't think of because it's early and I'm only a few sips into my coffee.

For me the most amazing thing in the last decade is systemd and docker

See, I knew I was missing something

How TF did I forget systemd? Not to mention PulseAudio and PipeWire

How about chromium ? or electron ? or maybe more importantly Rust language

Hmm it is really interesting last 20 years software area completely changed almost in all parts
20 years ago we there were browser wars , there isn't any commonly accepted version control system ( yeah there were cvs but it was not enough )
As far as I can say today is much much easier for new developers because opensource community almost combined and determined standards
most of the separated parts.
Wish that I can reborn again with these techs exists , common guys they directly have 12+ cores in their hands and they are not fighting with MB sized rams in their boxes

I normally never ever use the following phrase, but Electron should die in a fire.

It's always been like that. At least you weren't active back in the days of punch cards, but those people probably felt lucky not to be stuck doing all their computations with pencil, paper, and a sliderule.

For me, the most liberating point was when it became practical to write 32-bit code. DOS sucked, because even though you could address up to 1 MB, it was often annoying for code to use more than 64k at a time.

That said, I'm sure glad I started computing in the age of HDDs and didn't have to sit around waiting for tapes and floppy disks (except when installing software, mostly).
