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.

Not necessarily, generally the defaults for most of the tools tend to be sane, but when you have a swiss army knife with dozens of attachments, you'd still need a manual to figure what is what.

Note that many tools use ffmpeg under the hood so users are generally never exposed to the various options. But sometime if they need to, cheatsheets like these are really useful.

Yes, that's the good thing with ffmpeg. You can automatize basically everything using the various command line options.
