From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

With no flags when I open chrome://gpu everything seems fine but when I start my browser (cromite) with the --ozone-platform-hint=wayland flag everything over at chrome://gpu gets disabled which got me wondering if wayland backend + hwaccel is possible at all

This is my result with the Chromium flatpak with ozone set to auto, AMD GPU.

Even though it says video decode is hardware accelerated, it doesn't seem to be doing so according to Resources.

I haven't been able to get it to accelerate in any environment. The status might show green in chrome://gpu but when I actually check in debug while playing, it's always using software.
