I did notice that sometimes the flatpack version of a program didn’t seem to recognise my graphic card. I’ve seen this first with Handbrake, but also with other apps it seems that i get better performance with the mint package or the official ppa. Did anyone notice anything similar?
I’m using Mint on an old HP laptop with a nvidia card so if anything I’m glad that everything is recognised properly (safeboot disabled).
More details on your GPU and how you installed your drivers would be helpful to understand your issue. You should not need to explicitly enable GPU permissions in every flatpak as some of these comments are suggesting. That is to give apps direct GPU access, which is not necessary for hardware acceleration. A lot of the info in this thread is not accurate.
just kidding :3
external monitor or internal?
