VLC may go down as the greatest FOSS product in history. They've stated their mission since the beginning and 20 years later, are still flying that route. It's unbelievable how much money they've turned down to remain on their original mission.

I would day Linux is probably the greatest piece of foss software tbh

It's an arguable point, but unless you get weird with what you quantify as Linux, I think VLC might honestly have more users.
