Discord/Chrome - Incredibly laggy - Orange Pi 5 Plus

[FrenzyBiscuit]

Hi!

 

On the Orange Pi 5 plus with the 6.1 image (KDE), with a 4k monitor @ 60FPS and 200% scaling, when opening discord on Chrome it gets incredibly laggy.

 

I'm just curious, is this a limitation with the GPU itself, or is this related to something in the software stack?

 

Thanks!

I installed 25.04 with kernel 6.1 on the orange pi 5 plus, then I installed vanilla gnome. Then I installed the GPU drivers & GStreamer, then I enabled the GPU in the Armbian config.

 

This works great, hardware acceleration works on GNOME. However, chrome/firefox are both super laggy and do not have hardware acceleration.

 

What are the proper steps to get hardware acceleration (browser & video player) on this platform?

 

Yes I'm aware this is considered a developmental build, I'm just asking for general advice as I'm fairly new to the OPI5+ and don't know the general steps of doing so.

 

Thanks!

I think @amazingfate made a custom Chromium package at some point that included optimizations for rk35xx but no clue about its status. Might be even included in mesa-vpu extension?

Firefox probably won't work since that would need adjustments as well and I think messing with browsers is a pita already.
