Do people actually use Linux on desktops unironically?

Was it a 4K video? Those use way too many resources full stop, even on windows. I'm not sure what encoder they use for them but it's stupid.
i just use h264-ify plugin and disable 60fps videos. and everything works even on my thinkpad
still though, i prefer to just use yt-dlp into mpv
Get a better GPU. It works fine for me. I only see stuttering when playing back ridiculously high resolutions like 8K video and even then it fairs quite well, the stuttering is momentary, enough to ruin the playback and be noticeable but at least it's not constant.
I run linux on a potato and can watch youtube just fine. Have you tried watching videos through an invidious mirror, maybe?
Use vp9 then.
I do

nice bait, made me reply
Pretending to be moronic is not clever or funny.
>mpv choking poor defenseless wintroll
mpv is xserver application you moron. go ahead and tell me how mpv works in tty
Stop pretending to be moronic.
just launch it with --vo=tct
You aren't gonna like my answer, but browsers aren't meant to play video. Use a video player. mpv + yt-dlp works very well for YouTube videos, Twitter videos, and more:
How much do they pay you to lie on underwater basket weaving forums? 1 gallon of semen? 2?
> not watching video in a video player
Is this bait thread?
zoomers just don't know any better. They've been in corporate walled gardens their whole lives, dutifully consuming in the approved ways, largely unaware that any other way is even possible.
