Hello, pinebook 11" 1080p owner here.
I’ve flashed manjaro-sway edition some time ago (I think it was 20.06) and I was impressed. It was the most fastest and responsible OS for original/old pinebook I’ve tasted so far. Among other things it could play HW accelerated videos through mpv and chromium worked to my satisfaction (when I consider the performance of the old pinebook).
However after some updates chomium became less usable. Some minor glitches appeared when page was rendered, but after the page was loaded It went ok. The next update leaved the glitches after load, but after tab switching, the page went ok again. And after the previous update (and also this update) the chromium is unusable. See picture.
Has anybody some experience with this kind of bugs, or has any idea how to solve this annoyance?
I’ve tried to turn off HW accelerated 2D rendering in chrome://flags, but it had no effect.
Thanks.
PS: The chromium got worse in time, but HW accelerated video playback through mpv got better after every update. First there were some memory leak induced crashes and 1080p video was not smooth, but now there are clearly less crashes and 1080p video is smooth. Kudos to you all.
