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.

Isn't that just because Twitch doesn't allow you to browse it using Firefox though?
No. The only Firefox problem I have on Twitch is that any video above 720p begins to stutter. And 720p makes my laptop work like crazy. Same on YouTube when I encounter an old video with h.264. It has already been reported. I just have to wait until someone fixes it.
Fair enough. I've tried using twitch on my Fedora laptop with FF and I get blocked out by their browser message so I assumed that they were restricting access to chromium only.
Twitch is veeeeryyy slooowlyyy transitioning to AV1 for their livestreams, maybe that'll work better than h.264 whenever it's ready.
