Hi!

I wanted to leave Manjaro, because I couldn’t keep up with the updates and the system kept breaking.

But I have a strange problem regarding videos: every debian-based distro (I tried MINT, Ubuntu, LMDE, Debian 12 with main, testing and sid resp.) gives me some hiccups playing some video (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5IssBeTijo) - especially, when it’s set to the background.

I tried with or without proprietary nvidia, with mkv, online or offline etc. …

Manjaro plays the video just fine - even in live-CD-sessions.

So my question is: what could be the underlying difference between the two distros and how could I fix/update the problematic component?

Thanks in advance,

pheidrias

PS: I’m on gnome.
