IINA is only on macOS. I looked up linux alternatives but none of them seem to have similar looking UIs, at least out of the box. I want the player UI to float on top of the video + with a blurred background, it as shown in the image; or at least the ability to theme it like so.

      I like weird ui things though. There’s too much homogenization in ui these days. I’m okay with certain conventions, but I’m 100% behind chasing beautiful and expressive ui, as long as it’s functional.

      I’m sure they can play a video on their computer.

      Two things to bear in mind : just because you see a box that you can put text into, doesn’t mean that you have to fill it with text every time.

      This person is asking you to demonstrate your knowledge of linux programs and curation of good programs, and trying to find a piece of software that is more obscure than what they found. If your response to that request/question is what you put as a reply, than you don’t have the adequate knowledge of the kinds of linux programs out there for media playback, and aren’t a good curator.

      I do understand that you might want to encourage someone to be more in line with your views, but you’re not accomplishing that, you’re just showing you lack knowledge.
