I never had this issue on Ubuntu (actually, I think I had like 20 years ago)
and I don't think they violate patents, so I guess they figured out some
solution that you should copy (assuming their solution isn't patented - just
kidding).

I seem to remember they ask you on installation if you want to explicitly
enable 3rd party repos, or something like that.

Also, the error messages regarding missing codecs could give some clue to the
user (including a command to copy and paste to fix the issue without having to
investigate and/or waste time).
