No Hardware Decoding in Firefox on a Fresh System Install with a GTX 1660 Super
I hope I didn't overdo it with the tags.
Essentially, I am using Bazzite (and Linux) for the first time, on a brand new install, having used the
-Desktop
-Nvidia (RTX Series | GTX 16xx Series+)
-KDE
-No Steam Gaming
preset ISO.
After system installation, I ran the System Updater, rebooted the system twice, and opened Firefox. When playing videos on YouTube or streams on Twitch, I notice some stutters. When checking hardware decoding usage with
nvidia-smi dmon, dec stays at 0%, even though it rises when playing local videos with the default video player.
This user had a similar issue, which they were able to resolve by rebooting at the time, which has not worked for me. After inquiring privately, they have said the issue still occurs from time to time, and re-opening Firefox seems to fix it for them, which also does not work for me.
