I would definitely say VLC because just about everyone and their grandma knows about and probably use VLC on their computers/laptop even if they're not tech savvy. It's easy to download and install on windows, making it more accessible than Linux to the average computer user. Linux is definitely more impressive, but is used by way less people and is still mostly used in servers.

I tried to use VLC on my phone because it claimed to support playing videos over NFS, but I never got it working.

Seems a bit biased to ignore 47% of the global OS userbase with android.

Even if VLC was great for ghetto windows, it has just over half the user of android alone
