    Fedora without codecs? That’s the reason I don’t suggest it to normal users.

      Oh no, they have to run sudo dnf group install multimedia once in the terminal!

        And add RPM Fusion. Which could give errors when updating to a new major release.

          Never happened to me, I think I must have updated 6-8 years of releases with zero issues, even moved the SSD to a new laptop with no problems

            It happens if you update too early and the fusion repo isn’t on par. But still stuff to troubleshoot for no reason, so no good for new users.

            Linux Mint is still the distro I suggest which provides a check to enable codecs when installing, even if I’m a Fedora user.
