Is Manjaro seriously the only distro that JUST FUCKING WORKS out of the box? A Plasma edition of Mint would solve everything. Codecs and RPMFusion being fully enabled on Fedora by default would solve everything. CachyOS/EndeavourOS shipping with a decent software centre like Discover of pamac would solve everything. Ubuntu not forcing snaps would solve everything.

I don't understand why distros are so committed to plugging OTHER distros' OOTB shortcomings, while refusing to fix their own QoL issues. I could recommend ANY of these distros to my grandma if they would all just fix one small thing each.

that would be debian testing

They dont get paid, if you like OS as actual product with proper UX then use macOS or windows

If I can set up the missing features in 10 minutes, then the devs can easily make them defaults and ship it.

I've never had codec issues with Debian, most proprietary codecs have had good enough free replacements for ages now
