You can use dinit-userservd to run services as user services.

I was trying to see if its a Vivaldi problem or an old CPU problem.

Almost all WMs have this feature

Try how much memory usage you get on Firefox.

Yes, they submitted initial patchset to Linux kernel back in October (1 day after snapdragon X announcement). On Qualcomm’s website they say that full support for the chip will be merged into Linux kernel within six months.

Did you check if kernel module for audio is loaded?

Experiment with arch, void (musl), Nixos and atomic distros like fedora silverblue, bazzite

I mostly use a download manager for parallel downloading a file. (downloading multiple parts of a single file at the same time).

Same here

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

According to Debian Wiki VLC has limited support of va-api for hardware acceleration. Try fixes in the wiki. It might help.

Maybe try a full update. Partial updates are problematic.

Thanks, I will definitely try that

Make a .desktop entry in .local/share/applications and any launcher will be able to launch it

Edit: You could also change their names to match your alias

Rofi also has a wayland fork which I use rofi-lbonn-wayland. All of the previous rofi configs work fine with this.

For this very reason, I have aliased rm -rf with trash-cli

No, look up what drivers/modules/packages your hardware need and load them/upgrade/install on the buggy distro

Could be varoius reasons. Some common ones:

• distros can have different kernel parameters
• unloaded kernel modules
• different kernel parameters
• older kernel/packages
• missing packages

You can narrow down which distros work and which hardware support is missing. Also look at archwiki for that specific piece of hardware. You can find a lot of useful information even if you don’t use Arch.

I am not a gamer but even I enjoyed portal.

Can be caused by musl. Try glibc version
