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.

This is great news! It makes switching to Linux with modern hardware an even better idea.

the bit about the experimental Hybrid MP4 is interesting. By fault-tolerant, I'm guessing they mean that if OBS crashes mid recording, your file isn't just corrupted like it currently is with MP4 recording. Currently, MKV doesn't have this problem, so thats the container I usually record in.
