    More annoyed when the distro doesn’t even bother to document how to properly install the “missing” codecs.

        Nope. VLC uses system libraries, unless you install through something that ships its own dependencies like flatpak.

          I’ve heard it’s great for opening any file. Is it good with a bunch of file formats as opposed to media codecs?

            VLC is good everywhere even though it cannot compare to MPV in number of features available. It will work for most people just fine.
