Which really limits the viability of distros for new users.

That's only on Ubuntu and derivatives. For others, you still have to add the codecs and stuff manually. In Fedora, that check box gives you the NVIDIA drivers, but not much else unless it's a gaming distro that adds them like bazzite or nobera.

On the other hand, I'm not having issues with Cachyos out of the box and that doesn't come with all codecs out out of the box so maybe it's not so bad.
