ok great. How's scrolling performance for you? For me it's always been laggy and attrocious. On a windows computer (but not comparable because it has a fuckhueg cpu and gpu) it scrolls nicely but on my personal linux laptop (which is not weak at all) it scrolls like shit. I've googled around a lot and people just either seem to have this or the opposite, with no way of fixing
like, say, smooth... like when scrolling on a web browser? 60fps, normal?
right click -> open in new tab. it's h265 video :/
and yeah, firefox doesn't support even sw decoded h265
cc @mia (since you know about video too)
it seems that obs-vaapi (uses gstreamer) + intel hw encode + h265 + bframes = messed video. For some reason it plays fine under mpv for me, and also totem (which provides the preview on gnome files), but ffplay and ffmpeg bitch and moan
@mischievoustomato on mpv i get broken frames at I-frame interval
and yeah afaik intel hw encoding is quite broken
as for the lag, yeah i get that too when scrolling multi-page documents. perf
shows cairo/pixman constantly shuffling around memory so this is basically a consequence of libreoffice being an archaic codebase and cairo (the rendering library it relies on) dropping its unmaintained support for opengl acceleration.
I wonder what settings it is. h265 + bframes encoded with ffmpeg is fine last time I tried it. it seems it might be an issue with my gstreamer settings or the obs plugin. IDK.
performance
pain. there's a WIP gtk4 libreoffice port in progress, it'd be nice if that thing ended up being smooth
@mischievoustomato honestly i don’t have much hope for libreoffice ever becoming a viable office suite. it’s still just a bad imitation of microsoft office 2000 with stability issues on top of that
yeah but it's ✨ foss ✨
NGL maybe I should get a bottle to run MS Office or actually use OnlyOffice again. I dunno.
@mischievoustomato another alternative is WPS office. it’s made by a chinese company (so internationalization is lacking) and proprietary, but it does have a free linux version that is much faster, more stable, and has and way better support for microsoft’s formats than libreoffice
Over here, it's funny. Classmates run MS Office (probably everyone pirates it), but my university's computers run Libreoffice (perhaps just temporarily, maybe not, if they depend on having either LO or business-bought MS Office, though it's a state university)
