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

Did you find out what’s causing this? I found some Reddit threads with people having similar issues with Brave and Chrome-based browsers…
no i didn’t find out why it was happening.
Bummer. Yeah I had issues with browser video playback myself. And both Firefox and Chromium-based browsers have so many hidden options, intransparent GPU blocklists… And then people do silly stuff and install third-party browsers which don’t come from the package repositories, so they haven’t been tuned for the specific distribution. And that adds yet another layer of complexity… Luckily it just works out of the box on my current laptop, and in the future I’m not going to install any Nvidia drivers on my machine, either. That has been just too many tweaks for my taste. Though I heard it got a bit better with them. Sorry to hear you can’t make it work. I don’t think watching YouTube should be as hard as it is for some people. (BTW, using Firefox has additional advantages, like a working ad blocker available as an addon, so I for example don’t have to watch any of the multiple 30s pre-roll ads on YouTube. On the downside, Firefox always sucked with graphics acceleration and it still does. Should be fine on Windows, though.)
