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'm surprised he was able to watch Paramount Plus. I would assume that site requires Widevine DRM, and would not assume that it's available on RISC-V.
As for Blender and Kdenlive not working I'm assuming it's not because of the ISA like Christopher said, but rather because the board likely ships with crappy GPU driver blobs that only support OpenGL ES and no desktop OpenGL. Which is an important detail that this guy always misses in SBC reviews.
In the comments, he says it started working a day after he posted the video. It is basically just a side-effect of all this being pre-release software as these are dev boards at the moment.
