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.

For reference, I have a 6700XT on a 4k videoprojector, and it's fluid for 4k video and games (but it's a gaming card). The drivers are excellent and the card is stable. Thus said, I read some web videos through mpv, which is more optimized. On Youtube 4k, it works as well. I've tried 8k downsized and it was bit laggy, so I don't think a 6400 is enough for 8k video. I also had to buy a HDMI cable with more throughput! Videos aside, I think it's okay for the display only (texts and images), but wait for another reviewer because the 6400 is less powerful, so I can't confirm. However, if it works on Windows, it will work on Linux.
