    Multimedia codecs have a different license agreement than the OS so they aren’t bundled by default for a reason

          Don’t mistake this as condescension, but doesn’t VLC solve all of that?

              I’ve heard it’s great for opening any file. Is it good with a bunch of file formats as opposed to media codecs?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
