...your system32 folder right? Anyways once you share your folders, there's a couple of things you can do to integrate. WinBoat can export .desktop files of your Windows app, which is basically a shortcut. You can then associate folders (mime type inode/directory) to that .desktop file....
It's ironic that you never learnt to talk to people yourself and you're advising others to do so. That "money" comment if yours was weird and uncalled for. I merely made a comment about how DISM was buggy, I don't know why that made you think about money. Weird.
... And/or you could customise your Win+E shortcut key to launch Dopus directly. After that all your file operations would work as per normal. Only limitation would be that you won't be able to launch Linux apps from within Dopus.
Well actually it can, sort of. Firstly you control which folders you want to make available to Windows, but you don't want to be sharing your entire root folder (not sure if that's even possible). But normally you wouldn't touch the folders in /, just like how you wouldn't normally mess with...
There's also VP9 and AV1, which are more modern, royalty-free options that you can consider as well.
And containers are not patented - you can still use MP4 as long as you're not using a proprietary codec. But MKV is indeed superior, and WEBM is also nice as it only supports royalty-free codecs.
Btw there's a typo on the page: should be "Valve" not "Valvbe".
*as Valvbe also noted that "Plain Sight" is also now playable.*
We can't fix it because we don't have access to DISM's source code. So we do what every other company does, log a ticket to Microsoft and pray that it gets fixed sometime in the future.
Sucks that you don't know how MSPs operate. I didn't know they made embarrassing tech pros like you any more.
Unfortunately being opensource does not exclude it from patent restrictions. It's actually the algorithms itself which are patented. So if Valve or Linux distros were to include H.264/5, they will need to pay royalties.
As for AV1, it's actually royalty free, so yes, we should switch to it.
