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.

What's the advantage of this?

It'll allow for streaming from a camera directly into OBS. Unless I'm truly horrible with OBS, I currently can only get my screen and audio on a recording. I haven't found an option to also have my camera feed be recorded along with audio, even with my camera as the mic. Meaning there's no option to have your face in the bottom corner of a screen recording. So this will allow that to be possible.
