  • The problem with VLC is not that it can’t play certain formats, but that the version of VLC shipping with Fedora is missing certain codecs.

    Fedora is not allowed to include them for legal reasons, so you have to install them yourself.

    This is a huge pain for the average user, but distros cannot really do anything about it.

    You could try fixing the codecs using rpmfusion or alternatively install VLC as a Flatpak.

















  • If we are being fair, they are still reasonably fair to users. Open source gaming is not a reality.

    They don’t force you to use Steam, but still work on Proton as Open Source. They don’t lock down their hardware.

    What I’m trying to say is, while Valve is not perfect, it’s much better than any big tech alternative.
