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.

He had added a Jellyfin repo to his apt
sources.list
file for some reason, which is weird and likely not the right way to do it these days. But it might have been in the past, so it could be OP was following some obsolete procedure (or one AI-hallucinated from an obsolete procedure).After realizing that OP was completely going about it the wrong way, the guy you replied to just looked up the correct way and relayed that to him.
