Do games perform significantly better on this compared to a desktop Ubuntu with a gaming rig?

Word on the street is that Ubuntu gets updates very slowly. If people want latest and greatest drivers kernels etc then fedora and its spins is the way.
Or arch if you are into that sorta thing. -

Did they fix the horrible performance of Firefox based browsers? That was deal breaker for me. YouTube videos would lag and stutter for 1-2 seconds before playing. Smooth as butter on chrome based browsers. I don’t want to rely on chrome based browsers.

Fedora 32-bit Libraries
You might have seen some news regarding Fedora wanting to drop 32-bit libraries in the distant future. This is no longer the case as the proposal has been rescinded without a vote.
That's good news I hadn't heard yet.
I also noticed the bazaar suddenly appeared yesterday. Now I know why. -

I personally wouldn't describe it as horrible, but it is good to hear someone else seeing problems with video playback on YT. Just curious though, did you have any add-ons? I do and I need to compare playback without them. Hrmm

Fortunately, this update contains the antidote to your tears:
Download Bazaar, scroll a bit down on the curated front page and...
Oh look, Viper, a launcher/wrapper/mod manager for TitanFall 2, that allows you to join private servers.
... Did you not know there is a small but lively and active TitanFall2 community? That has the whole game working on linux, has its own custom Proton branch?

I recommend some variant of the h264ify plugin if you're having weird video issues with firefox based browsers.
There's some nonsense going on with some of the codecs Youtube uses + FF... YT used to let you more manually set your codec preferences, now they don't, but the h264ify plugins basically allow you to set those prefs yourself, and by default just disallow the problematic ones.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I just installed and run my browser through a Fedora toolbox (distrobox) and it fixed that problem completely.
I use FreeTube for yt, but that has issues with IP blocks and stuff while using a VPN, but it works if I switch servers once or twice.

Out of the box? Probably, as Ubuntu doesn't come with everything you need for gaming, so it doesn't work at all. Once you install all the same packages I imagine it's about the same. Usually a distro isn't doing anything particularly special. It's mostly just a collection of packages, which you can install on any other distro as well.

Welcome to Flatpaks, Lemmy's beloved way of distributing packages but the source of your Firefox performance issues.

Yes, I'm a mod over on [email protected].
It's pretty quiet, but I'm also one of the people committed to hosting northstar servers until the heat-death of the universe. Ever played on a MENTAL server?

I did clean installs no addons of zen and librewolf and all of them had the same laggy stutter the first 1-2 seconds a video loads.

I just nuked it and went with regular Fedora and it works fine now. It was only a problem on Bazzite.

Didn’t think of that but too late now. Just nuked and went with Fedora proper.
