Just sharing this really well produced video on Linux’s public perception (since this channel has suprisingly not a lot of subscribers)

    Why the heck do I have to install something just to watch a video online?

    MPEG-LA licensing or the legal hell of USA-based organisations is a risk to small projects like Fedora, so where possible they cut the risk and lay it on users decision to use propriatory licenses.

    At least that is how I understood it. I don’t know how Arch Linux and Debian (i.e. pacman and APT) don’t have that problem.

        Part of the problem also has to do with corporate-backed distros. Fully community-driven distros don’t suffer from that nearly as much, if at all.

        I like Fedora, but stuff like that makes me worry about how it’s going to be as time goes on.
