  > I would not call "sudo zypper in opi && opi codecs" a pain :) I would; that's 2 extra commands that install an additional (unofficial? OBS is like the AUR or PPAs) repo and then install stuff from it, and you have to know to run them at all. Like, it's good that it's in the wiki, but compare the process for a new user: OpenSuse: 1. Open firefox, go to youtube or whatever. 2. Get error message about unsupported format. 3. Do a web search on that error. 4. Hopefully stumble across https://en.opensuse.org/Codecs https://en.opensuse.org/Codecs and thence https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_codecs_from_Packman_repositories https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_codecs_from_Packman_r... 5. Run the needed 2 commands to install codecs Debian: 1. Open firefox, go to youtube or whatever. (There is no step 2)
