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.

im using the jellyfin app on my chromecast, and when i try to log in it says "Unable to connect to server" or something
Try to connect to the jellyfin web interface using a computer and web browser by going to <jellyfin server ip (like 192.168.1.10)>:8096
You can find out your jellyfin server ip by typing “ip address” into a terminal on your server if your jellyfin server is Linux or macos and “ipconfig” into a terminal on your server if your jellyfin server is windows.
