    I’ve used Linux for 20 years and don’t even know what MPV is without looking it up.
    Pretty sure that’s not an issue for any average user.

      Every time someone asks for a VLC replacement it gets recommended in here, xitter and some of the top results on google, I can easily pitcure someone searching for an alternative and finding about it or it getting recommended to someone trying out Linux.

        Why would anyone need a replacement for VLC?
        Also, Gnome, KDE, Xfce, LXQt all come with a video player out of the box that’s much better suited for newbies.
        If you’re installing MPV, you’re looking for it and probably know why you want it.
