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.

A few from the top of my head:
--no-videoargument)Edit: almost forgot, I've been using zsh + znap package manager and loving it.
I just tried out mpv and found it weird that it doesn't offer a menu for settings like vlc does. Is that the same for you too or do I just not know how to use it?
mpv is very barebones. Which is why I love it. You're supposed to configure it through its configuration file, and mainly use it with keyboard shortcuts.
What are the keyboard shortcuts for it? It never occurred to me that it had any
You can find the default ones here, but they're fully customizable.
There are wrappers for mpv that provide a more "full" GUI including settings, but mpv itself is more hotkey and config focused. You can do a lot of cool stuff using profiles and scripts. I get it if having docs open to configure a media player isn't your cup of tea, tho.
Some of the wrapper built on mpv are mpv.net, iina, and gnome-mpv.
