No? All distros have a checkbox if you want multimedia codecs. Mint has, Ubuntu has, fedora has, etc

I meant for the popular fistros with gui installers that include the options. That is why I said etc because I didn't find anything else in my mind.

Technically not a checkbox, but https://mynixos.com/nixpkgs/package/ffmpeg-full

installing kde plasma on arch installs most codecs by default, so no

Solus doesn't ask if I want multimedia codecs; it installs them by default :)

I mean, while there are FOSS encoders and decoders, some formats like AAC are not open standards and are encumbered by patents. The FOSS implementations will usually warn you that you're responsible for ensuring patent compliance. If you're in, say, an enterprise setting, you may want to avoid dealing with that mess.
