Last time I tried Fedora was the previous version and I found it impossible to install codecs. You have to add third-party repository (rpmfusion), the problem I'm having is the way the repo is authenticated - http website points to a pgp key signed by one Corey Sheldon who appears to be only self-signed, so there is no way to establish chain of trust.
I could download the key from multiple sources but I don't feel I should have to and more than that, I don't trust people who to some degree rely on security theatre, which http page pointing to a lonely public key essentially is. It's no better than downloading over plain http and my slight OCD compels me to refuse to do that.
I realize this is more a rant about rpmfusion than Fedora, but then I feel essential support for playing various media files should be included within desktop OS.
