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 pointed out a bunch of JavaScript plugins don’t work in WINE but I’m not following what it does that Picard + ffmpeg + many other audio players can’t do. It seems worth losing a feature or two or having to adopt a small composition of tools …or building it yourself / paying a bounty for a feature.
