I adore VLC.
I've been using Linux Mint for almost a year and a half now: would recommend it to anyone ready to make a jump into Linux and away from Windows. It's quite friendly.
I'm also quite enjoying Sonarr to keep track of some older television shows that I enjoy.
I forget how incredible VLC is. It's been my primary video player for going on 7 years?
I honestly don't know if any other video player that just works.
mpv is what I used, but I switched to VLC because of the interface
MPC-HC https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc (the still maintained one).
For me VLC struggled on very high bitrate videos. While MPC-HC was smooth and used less resources.
However it is not available for Linux. So if it's a software for Linux, I guess VLC is the best choice.
