Can you get gpu accelerated video playback in Firefox/Chrome? For me these days, "having your cake and eating it too" means running linux on a virtual machine.
- deckard1 6y agoah, well yeah I didn't mean all Linux issues are solved. I have hardware accel running in Chromium. It's really glitchy and would not recommend it. I'd probably just use mpv or vnc if you need hardware accel video. Really, my biggest gripe with Chromium is that it does not yet support kinetic scrolling with a touchpad. Firefox supports it, however it's still not as comfortable as my Macbook.
- danieldk 6y agoWorks fine with me with amdgpu. It's included in Firefox by default and it works great after enabling it. My current papercut is that 4k@60hz does not work with an Lenovo Gen 2 USB-C dock, while it works fine in Windows: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1317 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1317 (I didn't report this, but am running into the same issue.)
