I recently came across this post install guide on GItHub: https://github.com/devangshekhawat/Fedora-42-Post-Install-Guide. I was wondering what you all think about the recommendations. Especially, the sections about media codecs and hardware video acceleration. Sounds promising, but it makes me wonder why this isn't part of the default installation. There must be a valid reason for that I suppose.

I do remember manually installing Intel media drivers in Arch, but that's because in Arch a lot of things are installed manually. I assumed I wouldn't have to do that in Fedora.

Looking forward to your responses.
