- Undeniable evidence of superiority right here.
Welcome, we have cookies!

  I'm usually too lazy to click into those things, when I'm on my phone I use Firefox focus and just accept all be cause as soon as I'm done viewing the site it's all gone anyways
  
  peanut butter cookie = essential
Love to see someone being happy with their 'puter.
Good god, it takes 25 years to set up Linux? What happened to 8 hours for every minor problem?! I’m never gonna be free of WinBLOWS :(
I like using the terminal on video because it scares people

I like him already.
I just love to see these posts of "f@$k Winblows". Welcome to cyber heaven.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
You gonna be very upset when you realize that Fedora ditched support for some essential codecs for hardware acceleration on Intel Integrated Graphics and any forum won't be able to help you properly. Bullshit experience. Arch is much better (btw)
- This is old news and long-since resolved by RPM Fusion and/or flatpaks.
  
  In fact you can but this didn't solve the problem. I installed all drivers possible but nothing fixed the high CPU usage when I opened some apps like calculator and Super Tux Kart for example. I have a Intel Nuc 12 gen and with arch is all working flawlessly
- Why do we gotta be like this?
  
  Fedora is fine, it's the work of seconds to add non-free codecs.
  
  You don't even have to do that, if you use a flatpak.
- Do you have a link that talks about this? What is missing?
  
  They're probably talking about Fedora dropping the h.264, h.265 and VC1 VA-API support back in 2022 for legal reasons due to patents:

  It's largely a non-issue as you can easily install the patched Mesa from RPM Fusion, and I believe all Flatpaks incorporate the codecs already.
  
  Don't get me wrong, Arch is great and it will always have a place in my heart, but I also think Fedora is a top-tier project and I completely understand why they weren't comfortable risking patent law unnecessarily.
