I’m late to the game, having tried debian for the first time a few weeks ago.

I’m running the aarch64 version (KDE) in a virtual machine on my Mac (M2) and it’s the only distro that, out of the box, hardware acceleration is working for video decode of web videos.

All other distro I’ve tried struggle to display YouTube videos.

Big thumbs up from me.

Thanks, I’ve been using UTM on my M1 Pro, but UTM doesn’t have great video support unless you’re trying to run Windows 98.

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.
