Does that mean it will be simpler to enable multimedia codecs? That is always a bit of a pain point on a new Fedora install, in my experience.

They sadly can't do that for legal reasons.

didn't realize that was a legal issue. why can other distros automate it when installing the os?

[–] Matt@lemmy.one 9 points 1 month ago

Codecs are a legal grey area that many distros are choosing to include out of convenience since there has not been a problem before. Since Fedora is associated with Red Hat/IBM which have a lot of money and are bigger targets for lawsuits, they are choosing to play it safe by not officially supporting many codecs. It is the same with openSUSE.
