They don’t fing own VLC. What the actual f is going on over there, Canonical?
I don’t know, this was for a system on kubuntu 24.04, the latest up there.
I removed it, replaced it with debian and kde - my friend isn’t a gamer, doesn’t require anything bleeding edge, so that was just a better choice in our opinion.
