Yeah, that’s what I i did, first tried Nobara, I liked it but encountered some issues, tried to fix them but I realized I spent too much time and there’s no clear fix, so I hoped on Fedora and everything works nicely, exept for the Multimedia drivers which I’m still trying to fix…
It’s the stupid US patent law, and they don’t wanna deal with any “legal” issues, showing you how to install those drivers is how far they can go… But this is Exactly why these drivers are broken, they’re not well integrated and not tested by Fedora devs…
That’s why Distros like Ultramarine promise you a working Fedora experience OOTB, because they’re not US based and such laws don’t apply to their software…
If you really want to run Linux : Distro hop
If you are not happy, then try a few more distros.

Seriously, how can a huge distro like Fedora still be so horribly user-unfriendly when it comes to basic things like multimedia playback.

This is what seems to have helped for me on Fedora:
Install free and non-free RPM Fusion repositories: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
Then run the following:
sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video sudo dnf install mozilla-openh264 rm ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.binI was having trouble with many h265 videos until I cleared my gstreamer cache (I only needed to clear the 64-bit cache, this thread suggests clearing both 32 and 64-bit):

Oh, Thank you very much multimedia playback behaves weirdly on my machine, I’ll try these fixes and let you know
Temple or nothing
I’ve not distro hopped in ages, ever since I found my one true love arch btw
