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.

I still can't play my videos on Firefox without transcoding them, so I honestly hope they get it right this time.

They don't have mkv support by the way, that won't ever work in Firefox. Are you sure you're not trying to play mkv files?

Of course I am, there's no way I can escape mkvs. It's not too bad if it doesn't have to transcode the actual video stream, but having to burn in subtitles is a common issue 😭
