It’s largely a non-issue as you can easily install the patched Mesa from RPM Fusion, and I believe all Flatpaks incorporate the codecs already.
Don’t get me wrong, Arch is great and it will always have a place in my heart, but I also think Fedora is a top-tier project and I completely understand why they weren’t comfortable risking patent law unnecessarily.

Flathub even has hardware decoding with the drivers they distribute. However, Flatpak applications need to specifically opt in to ffmpeg-full rather than the normal ffmpeg package, which has support for patent-encumbered codecs.
Fedora Flatpaks, on the other hand, have no such codec support.

Yes u can but this don’t solve the problem. You open calculator and your PC is 90% use and the fans are on maximum, lol.
I wasn’t aware the calculator app used h.264/5, what relevance is that?
is just an example. When I opened some random apps my cpu fan start to work and the CPU usage was about 85~90%
