I don’t care if people want to dis it or not.
Based on my experience and the experiences of literally everyone I know, performance of video players has never been an issue.
I don’t watch videos of such length and quality that seeking could cause lag; I’m glad I asked to get other people’s input.
Asking for benchmarks is just par for the course when measuring performance. It’s fine if they’re not there, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.
Now go away, you silly person.

Are there any benchmarks to support this?
Yes, I’m noticing it’s getting worse as time goes on.
We’re rewarded for our hysteria and punished for going against it.
I never trusted deepin or MX linux.
Too much shilling on forums.
Where can I get these for free?
Yeah, but is the speed difference between the two really noticeable?
I mean, it is faster
Lol, what? Do people really care about the ‘speed’ of their video player in 2025?
How come they don’t just use VLC?
Nvidia user here. The criticism of Nvidia support on Linux is always blown way out of proportion by AMD fanboys.
The only issue I ever have is needing to prepend prime-run to each application I want to launch with the dedicated GPU.
I’ve had significantly worse problems with AMD drivers, so much so that it really opened my eyes to how stable things were on the green team.
I’m not saying you should get one over the other, but you shouldn’t let fanboys dictate your decision. They will try to do so without admitting they’re fanboys, so we have admit it for them.
I’m using Wayland right now, but tentatively.
Right now there’s an issue in WoW where sometimes when I move my mouse and left-click, the camera jumps to a different position, usually trying to look up.
Only happens on Wayland and it’s fixed temporarily by switching between windowed and fullscreen mode. The problem comes back sometimes when alt-tabbing and refocusing the game.
There was a bug in KDE recently where some menus weren’t properly appearing on Wayland, but that seems to have been fixed after my latest update.
“Built for control, but not for people” sums up so well what’s wrong with the developer-user disconnect among many in the free software space.
I think it has to do with neurodivergence, where a lot of people who use their computers 12+ hours a day can’t fathom that there are other people who don’t do the same.
