RPM's, I remember those
My First time in redhat (redhat 9) just to install Opera took a crap load of dependencies to find on the internet and download, then figure out their dependencies, etc.
Things have come a long way since then.
Still no equivalent of GOM player for Nix though, closest you can get is VLC which is barely acceptable.
Though Humorously, I can play MOV files no problem in Mint, can't play em at all in Windows, even Classic media player it struggles, and quicktime is a utter POS, can't even properly control the aspect ratio. I can play MOV files smother than Mac's (Well, tested against a lone mac book, my ancient Mint laptop hauled ass)
