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.

Edit: I'm now enlightened and use mpv, I really like the ModernZ OSC (on-screen controls), and uses config files.
IINA is only on macOS. I looked up linux alternatives but none of them seem to have similar looking UIs, at least out of the box. I want the player UI to float on top of the video + with a blurred background, it as shown in the image; or at least the ability to theme it like so.
I'm sure they can play a video on their computer.
Two things to bear in mind : just because you see a box that you can put text into, doesn't mean that you have to fill it with text every time.
This person is asking you to demonstrate your knowledge of linux programs and curation of good programs, and trying to find a piece of software that is more obscure than what they found. If your response to that request/question is what you put as a reply, than you don't have the adequate knowledge of the kinds of linux programs out there for media playback, and aren't a good curator.
I do understand that you might want to encourage someone to be more in line with your views, but you're not accomplishing that, you're just showing you lack knowledge.
