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.

incheresting im not really sure what was wrong with my pi4 w/ 8gb ram then since it kept buffering every 3 seconds for 1080p stuff on jellyfin and it was frustrating af! i saw many others dealing with the same thing online and after seeing https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-install/transcoding/hardware-acceleration/#raspberry-pi-hardware-acceleration-support-deprecation I thought it was a hardware problem but it could be something else or plex does things different im not sure. nevertheless im glad that happened to me since ive moved on to superior cheaper hardware and it made me careful of branded products when it comes to hardware in general. im glad that set up u have is working for you :3
