Ubuntu with chrome and chromium tends to work fine, except for a bunch of copyright blocked Netflix shows.


Chrome doesn't support hardware acceleration video decode on Linux at all. There's some unofficial patches for VaAPI support if you want to carry those around, but the Pi 4 also changed decoder support and it's generally all just a messy disaster.

Low-res video can be software decoded fine, but once you start pushing 1080p or 4k it's not going to go well at all.
