There are tradeoffs in life, not perfection. Bondage vs. convenience, your choice.
Having to install codecs once every few years is a tiny inconvenience compared to the dystopia offered elsewhere. I also run commands on Win and Mac all the time to fix things. For example Windows wastes tens of gigabytes of space unless you run a couple of inscrutable commands to free it.
Let me be clear, I am making only one very specific argument: Linux Mint is not as user friendly as people say. I'm not putting any blame on anyone for it not being user friendly, I am not saying that Mint must be a perfect OS replacement, I'm not saying that it makes Mint a bad OS, etc.. I'm only saying that it's not that user friendly, despite what many people say.
