People doing the 30 days linux Challenge are having several problems because of Mint's old packages and technology. Why people still recommend it when there is Fedora and Opensuse with KDE and Gnome?

Are media codecs hard to install on Fedora? I haven’t daily driven Fedora in a while, but last I remember it was one of the top-level categories in GNOME Software. Click it then install all the things. Although I suppose if the user didn’t know what a media codec is that wouldn’t help them very much

Not anymore. They completely divested that off to having to get RPM Fusion repos set up and then manually install the codecs.

As another user said, Nobara does all this, and I use Nobara myself. But Fedora itself has made all that harder.

Oh that’s a shame. Yeah, then I’m right with you, that’s not beginner friendly
