            Literally never once had a problem playing any video in browser, from a variety of sites (social media, streaming services, news sites, file sharing sites, ZERO problems. All videos have played every time.)

            Again, just install them if you want them. Nothing is stopping or preventing you from having them, you’re just choosing to complain about something that isn’t even a problem. Users should expect that all the software they want to use comes preinstalled with the OS, including software with EULAs and proprietary licenses that they must agree to, and they’ll never ever need to install a software package? 🙄

                You’re just factually incorrect as both twitch and twitter videos play perfectly out of the box.

                What an arduous mountain you’ve created from the molehill of installing a package using a package manager. My eyes can’t roll harder

                EDIT: I just checked and adding the nonfree repo and installing the package can even be done entirely from the Discover GUI. It’s literally just a checkbox 🤡 God forbid the user check a box in a GUI, it’ll send them straight back to Windows 😂

                  Hello! Random person coming in. I’m a New Linux convert. Have used Mint and its great, works well. Much to learn but I feel like I got this. Tried out Fedora recently, and while I’m getting things to work. if feels like I made a mistake, like it doesn’t feel as good to solve my problems on Fedora as it does something like Mint. I’m still learning, yes, but from a new Linux convert, Fedora does not feel as good to use and learn.

                  • Another random chiming in, been a Linux user for 10 years, and a couple years ago, I gave Fedora a good go for a month and couldn’t get it either.

                    I’m sure if I committed more time to it I would have understood it, but I needed a working computer and not one I was fighting with half the time, so I cut it there.

                  • Not really sure what you mean by this, since the only major difference is the package manager or choice of desktop environment. Do you just prefer apt over dnf/yum? That’s fine, you do you

                    lol why are you lying about something so easy to disprove.

                    If scrolling in Discover is too hard for you (which somehow it appears to be), you can literally setup the repos in one step by just clicking the links on the RPM Fusion website https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

                    Again, tell me how installing a package using a package manager is a problem? Like… yeah… you do need to install the software you want to use…

                  • ask a random windows user to download drivers or codecs, they will sweat
                  • ask a random windows user to download Steam, they’ll manage to do it

                  They will assume the basics should be there by default. It’s sad but to have an actually usable computer you need some proprietary software bs
