- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

Not gonna lie, I'm glad I've moved from Arch to Tumbleweed. Media codecs are handled worse somehow, but I haven't had to deal with crap like this ever sinceβ¦
You have to add the source with the non free codec packages:

I tried that already, didn't really help. That repo is currently deactivated on my machine, I think I had some (more) annoying problem with it (don't remember all the details), but after spending quite a few hours on this problem, I essentially gave up trying to fix it. Right now, video playback works well enough that I don't want to deal with it anymore.
And, honestly, I haven't had a Linux installation where everything related to multimedia and graphics drivers just worked flawlessly. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch and Suse all had different issues. Switching from Nvidia to AMD didn't help, either. Sometimes the flaws were minor and easy to ignore, but it has never ever worked as well as it does on Windows.
hmmm, did you try switching(vendor change) all system packages to pacman? (an option in the yast software installation module when you select the repository)
Best job with auto driver configuration (etc.) on most machines did endeavourOS for me. Just make sure to choose the correct vulcan / mesa packages while installing steam
I generally install steam as one of the first apps on most machines in order to get all the GPU dependencies sorted.
