    Me. I support this, and I did for over a decade. If you don’t use windows there are more performant general purpose media players than VLC. Anybody who’s been reviving old hardware with Linux knows this.

    You sound like you suspect that people want to dis VLC. That is not the case. I’m sure VLC has valid use cases even on Linux, and it certainly is a marvellous piece of software in its own right.

    Now go away, you silly person.

      I don’t care if people want to dis it or not.

      Based on my experience and the experiences of literally everyone I know, performance of video players has never been an issue.

      I don’t watch videos of such length and quality that seeking could cause lag; I’m glad I asked to get other people’s input.

      Asking for benchmarks is just par for the course when measuring performance. It’s fine if they’re not there, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.

      Now go away, you silly person.
