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.

Containerization is not virtualization, so why would it have any bearing on hardware transcoding?
I found this guide for setting up GPU access for Unprivileged LXC containers when I googled around:
Giving a LXC guest GPU access allows you to use a GPU in a guest while it is still available for use in the host machine.

Several comments specifically talked about VMs for the various apps. And frankly I'm not super familiar with the limitations of containerizing apps either. That's part of why I was looking for an immutable os + flatpacks / snaps - it's much more similar to a normal linux system just organized in a way to not break shit.
Use containers (Docker or LXC) instead of VMs.
