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.

And so user friendly, too!
Nice to have a good UI that doesn't encourage me to type in a bunch of bullshit.
Didn't HEVC work by default for Years now?
Last time I tried it, HEVC was not on the mainline Linux builds, you had to build it from source with it enabled or use a plugin for it.
OBS rocks!
huh... couldn't you already get those through gstreamer or vaapi?
Those can do the heavy lifting, but OBS still has to ask them to do it.
yeah, but i mean, i already had the option to use those in OBS!
Are you saying something else users will have to learn and configure themselves to get working?
no, it was available as an option in OBS already...
on intel cards?
