    I can't install any kind of video player on my linux laptop. Apparently I'm a software engineer. I hate linux.

    It is afaik. I have a close relative over there and he's been watching it.

    Are you looking for a pub to watch it in? Or just on TV?

    It probably comes with totem installed.
    I prefer smplayer though. Three line copy and paste to install on Ubuntu variants, two for fedora.

    Does the distro not come with a package manager that'll let you install VLC at least??

    App Store is significantly more cumbersome than apt/yum/whatever.

    I am yet to be confused by it, it's very simple. I'd be delighted it Apple suddenly integrated yum as a package manager but until then I'm pleased with homebrew.

    I allegedly have yum installed but it can't find half the packages. Granted, I haven't tried too hard to solve the problem. I tried to install binaries of vlc but needed lua; yum can't find lua... I'm stubbornly not spending too much time figuring it out because it shouldn't be this hard to install a bloody video player.

    So you not only installed Linux but not even Linux for saps and you don't know what you're doing and won't look it up? This sounds like the time I tried to use an iPad!

    I don't think you really get Linux, you're stubbornly supposed to spend too much time to figure something out even when it shouldn't be hard :pac:
