Anyone planning on using VLC on Fedora, RHEL or CentOS needs to check
out the current situation.  For RHEL/CentOS AIUI:

7.7     VLC from the usual sources does not work (in fact crashes some updates).
8.0     VLC is not available.

There is a VLC available through flatpack, but I've not used it (so
therefore cannot comment), but have seen warnings that it will pull in
up to 1.2 GiB of other packages including the complete KDE implementation.
