On Linux (Kubuntu with KDE and Wayland), I cannot use Youtube at all as it freezes for a long time when I start playing a video. It plays the sound but the browser stays frozen for around half a minute or so. It does eventually start showing the video as well... Do you know if there's any known issue for this?


I've seen numerous instances where Firefox Wayland has caused issues. Setting MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 fixed the issue I was having.

In case you're curious: My issue was that it'd cause a burst of high CPU usage, which would result in an emergency shutdown of my system.


Use yt-dlp and a frontend like tartube?


I can use Chromium. Just wanted to report the problem.
