I'm just getting started with Linux and using a distribution called Bazzite. Currently, I'm facing an issue where another program needs the file path for my VLC player. Can anyone provide some guidance on how to find this path?

You can use the command `which vlc` in the terminal. If VLC is installed correctly through your app store or package manager, it should be included in your PATH environment variable.

Have you tried `whereis vlc`? That command can help you locate the binaries for VLC.

It's a bit tricky, but first off, why does the other app need the VLC path? If you're using Flatpaks, it's worth noting they can create some issues when trying to get apps to communicate with each other.
