It's not just a generational thing — most of the millennials who were torrenting 15 years ago (which was a lot of them!) have completely forgotten by now ime. Now I'm longing for the days when 'VLC is the best media player' was common knowledge and not arcana

VLC is still the best media player... But only on Windows systems. When I switched from Win->Linux I had to relearn a lot of new things that were common knowledge on Windows but work differently on Linux.

Specially Win11... Eewww !

Yeah, mpv is better on Linux. VLC is still my preference for DVDs on the computer though. Super easy.

I got into Linux by building HTPCs and then media servers, so it's been a while since I watched anything hunched over a computer monitor tbh

Fair enough. Personally I put all my media on my Jellyfin server, so kind of a similar situation here.
