Why can't I play H.265 videos on Fedora 38 even though I have the codec installed

I just installed fedora a couple of days ago and this happens to me too...

I guess I'll try a different distro 🤷‍♂️ it was being a nice experience until I tried to play a video

Just install VLC dude

I mean yes, it's a way to solve playing offline videos, but it doesn't seem to stop there. I found that codecs for playing videos on Firefox are also missing

I could install Chrome as well or hack my way, but it makes me want to recommend the distro to beginners even less

I guess I'll try a different distro

LOL
