i got all my games to work on linux,cyberpunk,stellar blade,high on life 2 everything. but i get framedrops on brave in youtube. everything has a fix right? right? apparently not,i read about 20 forum pages,delved into arch wiki,asked many ais what to do and couldn’t get my gpu to work on the browser to solve framedrops.

i had same problem on windows,what did i do there? i made brave work by gpu in nvidia control panel and problem solved.

so yeah ,i did really like linux,yes gaming works great on it. but small issuses like this is what breaks the immersion. and i want a computer that works good with enough effort,not one that has eternal problems. im sure linux will solve these problems someday. bye

    Sad to see you go. Every Linux user is one less person relying on our corporate overlords.

    If you would like to give feedback to Brave, you can do so at https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues, where you should include your OS, hardware, and installed drivers.

    Going with Arch as a first Linux is certainly a choice, and I’d guess a random library is missing. If you are still interested in Linux and it’s also happening in other browsers, I would recommend trying other distros with more “mainstream” appeal (e.g., installed desktop environments and drivers), such as Fedora, Mint, or CachyOS for rolling releases.

    I’m also quite new to all this stuff, so if I’m wrong on something, please tell me.

        We all know nvidia sucks with Linux , you should have tried a distro which supports nvidia oob, idt Ubuntu was the right choice

        Do you have some obscure hardware? I have multiple desktops running Ubuntu or similar, and have not had any issues with browser video playback. At home an AMD GPU, at work an NVIDIA one. Admittedly, I use firefox.

          I changed from Gnome to KDE to fix the framedrops in Firefox YouTube. Intel i7-13700H.

          i have msi gf 63 thin10sc laptop with gtx1650,i5-10500h,16gb ram and an ssd.

          so i think it should be strong enough for youtube and isnt that obscure.

          the framedrops only happened if the video was 60fps but they were noticable. it did happen on firefox too

        What hardware do you run, and do you still need help?

        Arch is very different from Debian based Linux, where even the same packages can have different names, so using the Arch Wiki for non Arch based Linux distros is not recommended.

        I don’t know which drivers are preinstalled on Ubuntu, and some people also seem to have problems with frame drops (e.g. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1520102/why-do-i-get-so-many-frame-drops-on-wayland-with-youtube-playback), so no idea where to begin to help.
