I'm having a frustrating problem when trying to watch videos on platforms like YouTube. The streaming quality is really choppy and basically unwatchable. I've attempted various fixes already, like trying different extensions and clearing the cache, but nothing has worked. I'm confident that my internet connection is fine, and I'm currently running Linux Mint on my PC, which is dual booted. Does anyone have suggestions on how to solve this? Thanks in advance!

It's also a good idea to share your hardware specifications when asking for help. It can help others troubleshoot easier. Since you mentioned your CPU is an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and you’ve got an RTX 4090 GPU, it sounds like you should be set for decent performance. Have you checked if everything is updated, including your graphics drivers?
First things first, make sure to check if your browser is set to use hardware acceleration. If it defaults to CPU for video decoding, that might be why you’re experiencing lag—especially with a powerful system like yours! Adjusting this setting could really help improve your streaming experience.
Interestingly, I had the same issue before, and after a while, streaming seemed to fix itself. It might be worth seeing if it persists over time. If the lag returns, you can revisit your settings or hardware.
