I just bought a minibook n100 8" inch with Intel Alder Lake-N. I installed linux mint 22. Installed chrome, and firefox too, but when I playing for example a 4k video in chrome then the CPU is on 70% usage, checking with the intel-gpu-top, the Render/3D engine is at 63%, Blitter 0, Video 0, VideoEnhance 0. Using kernel 6.8.0-51

And the video is lagging somewhat, it is not smooth to play 4k youtube videos. With smplayer it is the same. It seams it does not use the GPU acceleration at all. :frowning:

$ inxi -G

Any idea somebody?
