Hello and Welcome to LQ!
We'll need some more sysinfo using inxi, so open a terminal and issue Code:
inxi -c0 -Fszr | pastebin "Browser" is Firefox, by default. Is that what we're yakking about here? Version? Thanks! |
Hi, Mr Franklin, and welcome to LQ.
How much RAM have you got in there? Also, which video card do you have? There's a possibility that your system may be a bit underpowered to run Cinnamon. Edit: Oops, Habitual got in there before me... |
Youtube has got much more demanding recently, and HTML5 is worse than Flash in this respect. You've got two things running that use a lot of graphics processing: Firefox and Cinnamon. Just try installing Mate and switching to it at log-in and see if that helps.
|
most likely your machine hasn't enough oomph, or graphical hardware acceleration is unavailable, or both.
for the gpu, please post the output of Code:
lspci -k | grep -A5 VGA other than that, don't use youtube directly but use mpv & youtube-dl. hey, there's even a firefox addon! edit: oops, cinnamon on an old celeron... no, no. lightweight you must go. MATE is good. |
