Are you going to try it? What is your use case? What are you hoping to do with it?

I'll be evaluating it as a potential default recommendation for new Linux users, and possibly daily driving on my personal home desktop (now Arch).

Right. I was wondering about VLC as I have had some weird bugs with it, that's a shame. What's your exit plan?

If you're talking about the OPUS audio not playing properly, the patch is out and has been applied here and there. Tested on Gentoo as well as OpenSUSE. I haven't tried it on Debian yet, fingers crossed. For the lack of Qt6, my workaround would be to use other VLC frontend such as Dragon player. I'm currently also looking for gstreamer based alternatives such as Haruna.

Idk about that, for me it just now refuses to play .flv files that it previously had no problem with. Says Codec not supported (mpgv). The files open fine on mpv player.
