I see. Sort of. They do say it's (also) a complete replacement for "Remote Desktop Connection" which does appear to be about connecting to PCs. I don't know anything about MS products, just thought it odd that they chose to support "macOS, iOS, and Android."

Remote Desktop clients for Linux got good enough that they felt the need to replace it with a new protocol with no linux clients?
Added a warning that appears in Proton Log for systems that have low file descriptor limit
I'm glad to see that. There are reasons why debian didn't choose to increase their default limit beyond 256, but some games require it and if you happen to find one it can be tricky to figure out what went wrong.
What they need to do: Ban the practice of showing ads to people based on surveillance data, for a start.
What they will do: Demand that more data be collected to determine which users are children and therefore worthy of protection.
I took notes for the benefit of anyone who doesn't like their info in video form. My attempt to summarize what Linus says:
He enjoys the arguments, it's nice that Rust has livened up the discussion. It shows that people care.
It's more contentious than it should be sometimes with religious overtones reminiscent of vi versus emacs. Some like it, some don't, and that's okay.
Too early to see if Rust in the kernel ultimately fails or succeeds, that will take time, but he's optimistic about it.
The kernel is not normal C. They use tools that enforce rules that are not part of the language, including memory safety infrastructure. This has been incrementally added over a long time, which is what allowed people to do it without the kind of outcry that the Rust efforts produce by trying to change things more quickly.
There aren't many languages that can deal with system issues, so unless you want to use assembler it's going to be C, C-like, or Rust. So probably there will be some systems other than Linux that do use Rust.
If you make your own he's looking forward to seeing it.
If most pirates are the kind who sail around drinking rum and chasing booty, patent trolls are the kind of pirates who blow a big hole in the side of a supertanker to steal a few barrels of oil and let the rest drain into the ocean.
It might contribute in some small aesthetic way to deterring them, which seems a much better ambition.
If that is a big problem, one alternative is to get a post office box.
