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.

How? They would have to know C/C++, Qt, QML; then learn how to navigate the codebase, compile the software and debug it.
All that is very technical

Far less technical than AV1 support with software rendering, very little technical skills relatively.

Uh sure, relatively, but for someone who doesn't even know how to program that's relatively a super tall order, I don't know their background, but the activity itself definitely isn't low technical requirements in absolute terms, if instead you meant UI concept design, then it would have been more plausible

Good thing I just clarified it was relatively, not sure why you felt the need to type this comment

Its still a high technical skill you ask there. Its just a different field
