I've been using Fedora now for 10 years (over a 15 year period due to some distro hopping and a love affair with Arch that lasted a few years and still kindles inside of me and pokes it head up every so often), and I often forget about the lack of proprietary codecs and stuff out of the box. Early on after installation I always add the RPM Fusion repos, which have much of the creature comforts. # Add RPM Fusion repos sudo dnf install -y \ "https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm" \ "https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm" Then to install the codecs (I have this is a bash script that I run on new installs): # Install additional codecs # From: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia sudo dnf install -y ffmpeg sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setopt="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video
