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.

The important thing you want to look out for is hardware decoding.
This iGPU supports h264 and h265, so you should be fine with pretty much everything you throw at it. It does not support AV1, but adoption will take quite some time so I wouldn't bother.
When AV1 eventually gets mainstream you can just put a cheap (non-"gaming") GPU in there for 50$ or so.
So yea, you will be fine.
