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's usable, but definitely needs work with the UI design and for finding new videos. For mobile, newpipe works for peertube as well as youtube, but doesn't allow logging in. Fedilab allows logging in to peertube accounts, although it's slightly annoying switching between that and my Mastodon account.
There isn't that much good content yet, although there's a lot of videos about open source software like linux, the fediverse, kde, emacs, blender or krita. There's also a decent amount of gaming content too. My favorite instance is probably tilvids.com which is focused on educational videos. They have open account signup if you just want to follow, vote and comment, but you need to apply to upload videos.
