FFmpeg is all screwed up in Debian Trixie
I can't install VirtualBox in Fedora.
Adding kvm to the kernel by default screwed everything up.
Linux Mint is hosed, too.
Got a VM up but ffmpeg still doesn't work.
Trying something with Python but that doesn't work.
The venv I'm probably not in screwed everything up.
Nah, I don't want to do that; it might work.

I think I'm seeing a pattern here. I'll ask Claude.
