It's not just a generational thing — most of the millennials who were torrenting 15 years ago (which was a lot of them!) have completely forgotten by now ime. Now I'm longing for the days when 'VLC is the best media player' was common knowledge and not arcana
I mean…it’s still the best ffdshow wrapper imho
VLC is still the best media player... But only on Windows systems. When I switched from Win->Linux I had to relearn a lot of new things that were common knowledge on Windows but work differently on Linux.
Specially Win11... Eewww !
Yeah, mpv is better on Linux. VLC is still my preference for DVDs on the computer though. Super easy.
I got into Linux by building HTPCs and then media servers, so it's been a while since I watched anything hunched over a computer monitor tbh
Fair enough. Personally I put all my media on my Jellyfin server, so kind of a similar situation here.
MPC-BE + MadVR + LAVFilters kicks the cone.
