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.

it will be enough for YT playback, since streaming services don't support PCs
I was thinking of running jellyfin, and have been experimenting with it for the last few days.
What do you mean by streaming services not supporting PCs? I've had both HBO Max and Prime running perfectly on Linux.
by not supporting PCs, I meant 4K/Dolby Atmos/HDR streaming (except netflix, which gives you HDR and Atmos if you use their shitty windows app)
Oh, I see. To be honest, I never really cared about HDR, but as far as I know it's not supported on Linux at all.
