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.

They're helpful to my deaf ears, even when they're wrong (50% of the words) they do give me a solid idea of what is being said together with what the audio sounds like.
With it, I get almost everything correct. Without it, I understand near to nothing.
This only goes for English spoken by Americans and sometimes London Britons, sadly, nothing else get detected nearly as good enough, so I can't enjoy YouTube in my native language (Dutch), but being able to consume English YouTube already helps a lot!
That is very true. It's hard to find local subtitles to a lot of stuff. And the whole deaf angle :)
