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.

Flathub even has hardware decoding with the drivers they distribute. However, Flatpak applications need to specifically opt in to
ffmpeg-fullrather than the normalffmpegpackage, which has support for patent-encumbered codecs.Fedora Flatpaks, on the other hand, have no such codec support.
💯
I have to admit one of the first things I do when setting up a Fedora atomic distro is disable the Fedora flatpak repo and replace all existing apps with Flathub equivalents. Still, good info to keep in mind!
