What ever makes you feel like the bigger man. The most annoying thing I run into are distros not supporting proprietary codecs and formats out of the box.

If that's where we're at right now I'm pretty happy with the state of Linux, especially since it's only a couple of distros that intentionally do that.

But that person claims to have contributed some code to server software, so he's clearly super qualified to comment about 2005 desktop stuff!!11!1

It's not like Windows supports all the codecs out of the box either. Downloading something like VLC (or insert your competing favorite playback thingie here) is pretty much required when dealing with offline media files.

Your post is confusing friend. Also if you can figure out how to get heic image formats working on fedora I'd love to know. I fixed it by SSHDing into my mother's desktop and converting everything heic into jpeg from my arch instance.

I wanted her to have a good experience with Linux so I avoided Ubuntu.
