From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Celluloid is honestly better than VLC. Native Wayland, Pipewire, no filesystem permissions (Flatpak)
I am on Fedora Kinoite, I replaced Kwrite with Kate, all the other default KDE apps are great. Okular, Gwenview as Flatpak, and apart from that a mix of different KDE, GNOME or 3rd party apps as Flatpaks.
I made a list here, but it is a bit outdated

Celluloid does much less than vlc, why not just using mpv (which celluloid uses as backend) so you have a full player
TIL there's a frontend for MPV. Nice.
SM Player is a good one IMO; you can skin it to look good, plus it has much more features and shortcuts, also I like that it automatically grabs the subtitle file next to an MP4
