@nprofile1q... Ok, so you still got vlc, and not vlc-noX, good to know.

The openSUSE provided vlc indeed does not have all the codecs enabled, because stupid codec patent/licensing issues.

I'll make a note to get that fixed (I frankly thought I had already fixed it)

@nprofile1q... Uh, not that it *might* matter to you, but vlc is actually there for a reason, as it's the only supported backed for phonon (which is KDE's multimedia subsystem, which provides things like desktop audio notifications)

That being said, was it vlc, or vlc-noX that was installed? you mostly shouldn't even notice vlc-noX is there, as it won't show up in the launcher or anything.

So here at #FOSSY2026, I have an XP-PEN tablet for krita demos, and a lovely person cruised by and drew this live. They asked not to be publicly identified, but this is really neat, and is a great example of what can be done with FOSS software #krita #KDE30

Not sure if they’re being live-streamed, or going up on YouTube/etc, but I’ll be giving a lightning talk about transactional systems at #FlockToFedora2026 in the next hour
