>there's not vlc
good

>>61873761
fedora is designed to be free of any commercial software, and that includes proprietary codecs and drivers

>>61873813
Why does it ship with SystemD then?

>>61873840
gtfo with the systemd meme

>>61873813
Ubuntu gives you the option to install those things. Why can't RHEL provide the same?
How can you exist without multimedia in 2017?

>>61873921
It is literally just a matter of design philosophy. If you want commercial support, they want you to pay for RHEL

>>61873813
That's so ridiculous. Why would anyone give so much shit about free software?

btw you always have the option to install them outside of the official Fedora packages

Blame Stallman. I refuse to adhere to his self-serving philosophy

>>61873840
because systemd is free software and not commercial or proprietary. See pic related

Ubuntu is a british company, so they don't have to follow american copyright laws, and unfortunately american copyright laws prevent other companies such as Red Hat from providing proprietary codecs

giving you the option to do what you want is anti freesoftware :^)

A desktop distro that can't play anything needing h.264? It is ridiculous.

>>61874096
Red Hat, Inc. is a $18B company!

Install Korora

why, just don't use rpm distros, the only worthwhile one is opensuse tumbleweed.

>>61874173
W-why does this even exist? Reading that gave me autism

is this 2006? they have a repo called rpmfusion, most packages are maintained by fedora maintainers, packages like vlc steam emulators and shit

>>61874096
systemd is commercial software developed by a corporation.
It's not possible in *any* way to submit patches so it's not free software.

>>61874232
but Red Hat does not charge for the software. Red Hat charges for the customer support

If you get red hat for free (without the service subscription) it is known as fedora

Fedora is a piece of shit as desktop OS.

Poettering (a Red Hat employee) is not the source of the problem in the modern Linux ecosystem. Red Hat is the problem. Red Hat has almost complete control over freedesktop.org (xorg, DRI, cairo, mesa, wayland, systemd, dbus, PulseAudio, Gstreamer, xft) and GNOME (this includes all its applications and GTK+) and has a massive influence over the Linux Foundation and many GNU projects. Red Hat is a for-profit corporation so any action they take will only be for their own benefit and NOT yours. Regardless of whether their software is "FOSS" or not, they've slowly been redesigning the core design of Linux so that they could restrict your usage of it to their products, making you dependent on them. GNU/Linux should be renamed Red Hat OS, as it's essentially impossible to escape their tentacles on it.

it's not about free shit dumbassholes, it's about analyzing the source code which you can't if it's proprietary (secret)

>>61874069
It's better and you can trust it.

>>61874545
Free software is about way more than just the source code. It has appeal for non-programmers. You are free to share it with your neighbor,

>no ffmpeg or avconv

>>61873761
desktop linux is irrelevant, fedora exists to beta test rhel
