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.

You cant layer ffmpeg, you need to override-remove everything
libav
and then install everything new from rpmfusion. I did that, its a mess.If you just want video playback thats just
libavcodec-freeworld
, thats why I specifically mentioned ffmpeg.I am not a fan of Distrobox for small tools. For sure possible but unnecessary and the workflow is a pain. And trust me, I use it daily and even ran libvirt in a rootful one, virt-manager in a rootless one, connected over ssh.
My point was that Fedoras product is unusable. Ublue is the solution, their main images are basically Fedora Atomic but fixed.
No thats
libavcodec-freeworld
andffmpegthumbs
. Most movies you find on the open sea are not in libre Codecs.
