I'm having a problem with streaming videos on my Linux Mint setup. Whenever I try to watch something on YouTube or other streaming platforms, the video playback is really choppy and almost unwatchable. I've tried a bunch of troubleshooting steps like clearing cache, using different extensions, and more, but nothing seems to help. I've ruled out internet issues, so I'd appreciate any suggestions or solutions! Thanks!

Another thing to consider is your hardware specs. You mentioned having an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and an RTX 4090, which are pretty high-end. If your system is up to date with drivers, that could be something else to check. Sometimes, a quick system update can resolve issues.

It sounds frustrating! Have you checked if your browser is using hardware acceleration? If it defaults to CPU decoding instead of your GPU, that could be causing the lag since your CPU isn't as powerful for video processing compared to your RTX 4090. Give that a look!

Thanks for the tips, guys! Just so you know, my streaming has improved recently, but I'll keep an eye on the setup to see if the choppiness returns.
