I'm on a mission to find an immutable Linux distro that comes equipped with useful multimedia codecs straight out of the box. I've been using vanilla Fedora Workstation, but to get functional codecs, I have to run a command like `sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing`. On the other hand, Ultramarine, which is based on Fedora but has better defaults, has FFmpeg pre-installed, making it more user-friendly. Unfortunately, the command I mentioned doesn't work on immutable distros since DNF commands are not supported. I gave Kinoite a shot thinking it might help, but it's just a regular Fedora variant with KDE and doesn't include FFmpeg either. I'd love to know if there's an immutable distro out there that has FFmpeg pre-installed. Thanks!

You could try using any Ublue image! Just grab the GitHub repo and add whatever packages you need. For instance, with Bazzite, you can include FFmpeg or any other tools you want and then rebase it from a standard Bazzite or Atomic Fedora that has the same desktop environment. There’s a straightforward manual available on Ublue to guide you through it, and while it requires a few extra steps, it’s not super complicated!
