From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ffmpeg is not just Linux, this deserves a wider audience
What's Linux specific here? Its about FFmpeg options, showing examples of how to use and explains them. If you understand the examples, then you can use it on any platform.
I think the complaint is that it got linked in the linux community? Idk
Then instead to complain the person can link it to other platforms too. I don't get whats the problem is here.
I think it was lamentation rather than complaint.
