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.

Examples could be things like specific configuration defaults or general decision-making in leadership.

Fedora Silverblue.

I want to be able to play YouTube videos in Firefox. And video files on desktop. Layering on rpmfusion didn't help. And why will videos play in Gnome Web but not Firefox ugh.

I suggest rebasing to ublue. https://universal-blue.org/images/

Packages from rpmfusion (codecs, mesa-freeworld) are all added to the base layer of silverblue so shit works ootb

I just use the Firefox flatpak from flathub.

Definitely a strange choice for a distro that pushes flatpak to not use it for the browser by default.

This works for videos but then my KeePassXC plugin won't work through the flatpak sandbox.

Same issue as me. If they simply where not US based they could ship working images without the trouble.
