I chose to use opensuse tw kde based on some vm tests. The installation was easy but for some reason the video playback on youtube is terrible. It stutters. First thing I did after install was to use opi to install codecs. Then I used Yast to get the Nvidia repo. Lastly, I used the software manager to install the video g06 driver.
To be honest I am happy using Windows 10 but I wanted to try Linux again because of the privacy and security, but there always seems to be something whenever I try to use linux. Should I keep using Windows or try a different distro?
My specs:
1080ti, ryzen 2600, msi b450 tomahawk.
Update: It was the secure boot setting. Nvidia drivers don’t work with it on I guess. Thanks for all the other information though, more to look into.
For OP and other people with this issue, make sure you set
media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabledto true inabout:configin firefox. Unless you do that, hardware video acceleration often wont be used.TIL
I didn’t have it set to true but I also never noticed any problem
I don’t think that’s gonna work because this is a thing that he needs
