I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui's and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet...

Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu

I blame the modern web for this

It isn't a a web problem. The experience is the same for any video playback on a RPI

Yeah, it's amazing how upvoted the previous comment is. Just a bunch of idiots jumping on the web-hate bandwagon when even basic media players like Kodi have a tough time playing back video on the Pi.

It just isn't a very optimized device for video playback. The Pi 5 is actually a step backwards as well, providing only H265 hardware video decode which the web doesn't even use.

It's weird to me hearing people say the Pi isn't great for video playback when the SoC isn't that dissimilar from what's in a Roku box.
