I’ve found that firefox has become quite slow on X11 on linux, can anyone suggest some fixes? Can’t switch to wayland because of nvidia.
On windows it’s solid however!
Edit: just saw this in the release notes for 84: “ Additionally we'll ship an accelerated rendering pipeline for Linux/GNOME/X11 users for the first time, ever!”
Fingers crossed, gonna check it right away!
- franga2000 6y agoIf it doesn't automatically enable it for yout (check about:support), try force enabling WebRender. It made things much better for me both on Wayland and X11 for the past year or so. I don't know the about:config option, but some googling (ducking?) should get you some instructions. And out of curiosity, what's your current problem with Wayland+Nvidia? For me, it's been pretty much equally as unstable as it is on X.
- Epskampie 6y agoThanks, I already tried that once before and it didn't really make a difference, will try again. On GNOME you can't use wayland if you're using nvidia's binary driver, which I am.
- Shared404 6y ago> ducking? I've been using "DDG" as a stand in: "If you DDG it you should find some references" It's not perfect, but at least on tech focused sites where the readership knows about DuckDuckGo I've found it works.
- franga2000 6y agoYeah, that makes more sense. I've used it before too, but when I was writing that, my brain just completely failed at remembering it :)
