VLC is the supreme of all open source projects, you used it in school, college, work and home.

I used it since I was a child and it has never failed on me. It didn’t matter what type of file you chucked at it, it would run it.

Do you disagree or agree with VLC being the best media player? What are your thoughts?

    VLC is one of the greatest achievements of the modern era imho (along with Linux, Wikipedia, etc).

    A good dev who didn’t sell out, fully FOSS, always up-to-date before-the-date, no nonsense or bloatware, no UI changes every month to get more engagement, etc.

    This is how all products of humanity with our level of tech should be like (even non-software).

    We don’t deserve our open source heroes, so grateful for the incredible free software ecosystem

    Gimp, 7zip, blender, vlc, open office, the kernel, thousands of others, I feel like our lives have been universally improved by these inverted charity projects. The few taking care of the undeserving many.
