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.

usually i just like older videos but in this case i was saving a bunch of wcw vault videos to my jellyfin library and i prefer 480 since it was as close to tv as can be (also i've never been a fan of hd and tv after 2000 because i felt that's when it went downhill)
