Linux

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.

This is like the 6th time they've claimed this. I was attacked before for saying this wasn't working correctly.

Weird, it's been working for me for a while. I just need to manually set "media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled" to true in about:config.

That's strange, I'm almost certain my desktop's Firefox doesn't have this (AMD GPU) while my laptop's Firefox does (Nvidea GPU)

OK yeah that's something 99% of even Firefox users aren't going to know... Bookmarking this to try when I'm back home!
