    Probably both, the drivers are almost the same, just need a kernel flag.

    If so that’s great for everybody… well almost everybody period, most notebooks have Intel gpus even if they have Optimus too.

    As a layman, what does this mean roughly? Videos played on youtube will use more GPU than CPU?

      Mozilla has finally blessed Intel graphics hardware with the open-source VA-API video decode stack to enable that hardware acceleration by default.

      Think it’s enabled by default now.

      But yeah, I’ve also had Firefox with VAAPI working with Intel Arc for a while too, I just had to set some stuff in about:config.
