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.

OpenGL 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2 in 2023? It's so terrible!
It's not "opengl 3.1" it's "opengl es 3.1" which stand for embedded system and roughly equals to OpenGL 4.3 spec.
Oh, my bad. But OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2 is also not suitable to 2023. Hope the developers can make driver support Vulkan 1.3.
They did mention that gpu has open source mesa driver support
It's the lack of hardware AV1 that concerns me, as well as droppong h.264. Raw CPU means it'll still handle the latter, but since streaming will be moving to AV1 it's kind of questionable whether this will be a reasonable media center.
