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.

I don't understand the question?
you commented :
I have not seen anything that indicates KDE requires a specific video player. So I was asking does it NEED a specific player or just have a default that it is installed with?
'Need' as in why do they need to stretch their development resources to cover a video player when they're already stretched thin and perfectly serviceable alternatives exist.
I have no actual idea, but that's what was meant. My guess is they want everything written in Qt6 so it can all be portable to windows etc.
it ships with one, if that answer your question.
