Hello. Im new on Centos I recently installed Centos 8 and i have the following problem with my browser I cant play media on the browser. for example i cant play. twitter.com/Ffs_OMG/status/1183397555914366976 Or i cant listen shows or songs on mixcloud. for example mixcloud.com/parapolitika-parapolitika/γιωργοσ-πατουλησ_παραπολιτικα901_24-5 i get the message "Sorry - your browser is not supported. Please update your browser or install another such as Google Chrome. Mixcloud requires HTML5 audio with MP3 and MP4 support." I suspect that these 2 problems relate. Any ideas how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

I believe that elrepo.org <elrepo.org> has ffmpeg-libs for el8. download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/8/x86_64/repoview/ffmpeg-libs.html -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>

Of course you can turn it into a full-blown bells-and-whistles desktop by fine-tuning the configuration and adding lots of third-party stuff. I've done this myself for years, here for example: microlinux.fr/poste-de-travail-entreprise-centos-7-kde On the other hand, CentOS out of the box is a rather frustrating experience on the desktop.

RHEL is sold as an Enterprise OS for Server, Cloud, Desktop, Laptop. CentOS surely shouldn't be seen any differently. What is it that makes CentOS a bad desktop OS? I can install CentOS 8 on my laptop now, with a perfectly usable desktop, and 10 years of support. Google Chrome runs just fine, and I can use containers via singularity on top for anything exotic. What exactly am I missing out on by not running something else? jh
