I've had an impression that the slow computer I've used worked better by default playing videos in Kubuntu than either Lubuntu or Xubuntu. If some internet sites are to be believed, something something compositors video players hardware acceleration whatever: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=212094 https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=212094 And all that problems still appear strange to me, as the computer is not too old, it just has slower processor, whereas I've had better experience playing videos on the notebook bought in 2000, in Windows XP (using open source mplayer!) And using some of the "lighter" editions apparently doesn't mean "plays better" just... something (as some don't even have an official goal anymore to be actually better on older hardware). Maybe someone here can explain what is the best way to play videos on slower (from a perspective of the developers who probably have 500 W graphic cards, because "who doesn't"?) machines. I have, more or less, accepted that I still can't expect that from Linuxes: Relevant: https://xkcd.com/619/ https://xkcd.com/619/
