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've wanted to buy an upgrade to my RX580 for years now, but I'd really like AV1 encoding support. With OBS finally supporting AV1 on all platforms (?), this actually makes sense. But I'm once again reminded how bad the used market for GPUs is in my country atm, so I'll wait for a while longer.
Now we just have to wait until platforms like Twitch support the codec too. It’ll be a huge leap, when they do
YouTube already has it, wouldnt hold my breath for twitch. they still havent had h265 support, and its not like thats brand new or amything.
Isn't that due to that codec requiring royalties? Half the reason there is such a bit push towards av1 instead of h265 is that there is no royalties involved
