According to fastfetch it's a "Intel Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd gen core processor"

When I tried to run "LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965 firefox" it spat out "restorecon: SELinux: Could not get canonical path for /home/[myusername]/.mozilla/firefox//gmp-widevinecdm/ restorecon: No such file or directory."

Did all that but it's still the same. I really don't know what's the root cause of this.

I have the same exact set up on my Thinkpad x240 and it's running smooth on Firefox so I dunno... I'm ripping my hair out over this tbh.

Fedora, but I had the same problem on Arch.

Currently I have it installed through Flatpak but I have the same problem with distro package.

I don't know what to do. I've tried searching through google and all the answers don't seem to work. When I use Firefox (this is librewolf but it's the same on Firefox), games like Tetr.io or Friday Night Funkin lag real bad but they're buttery smooth on Chrome or Chromium. I have an iGPU and a "Cedar" AMD GPU according to lspci. Someone please help me, I don't wanna use Chromium just to get good performance. Please tell me if I need to provide more information.

Firefox runs slower on Arch than on Windows? by theselfhoster in c/linux@lemmy.ml

There's a bunch of stuff that's blocklisted, I've been trying to fix this with google and reddit yet none of the things I see in the posts work. Chromium works out of the box with no lag, and my Thinkpad x240 with the exact same set up has no lag whatsoever, so at this point, I don't know what's the problem

Firefox runs slower on Arch than on Windows? (sopuli.xyz)

I recently got a new Dell Inspiron 660s and it had Windows on it, I played around with Windows and eventually got around to putting Arch on it.

Now I've installed Arch on multiple systems but I'm no expert at Arch, I mainly like it because it's bleeding edge.

I opened Firefox on it and started to pull up Tetr.io and Friday Night Funkin - browser games, and it was noticably slower on Arch than it was on Windows.

According to Fastfetch, I have a "Radeon HD 5000/6000/7350/8350 Series" (???) and a "Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller" (my iGPU i think)

What can I do to fix this? Please tell me if I need to provide more info.

Do I really need a firewall for my server? (sopuli.xyz)

I've been running my server without a firewall for quite some time now, I have a piped instance and snikket running on it. I've been meaning to get UFW on it but I've been too lazy to do so. Is it a necessary thing that I need to have or it's a huge security vulnerability? I can only SSH my server from only my local network and must use a VPN if I wanna SSH in outside so I'd say my server's pretty secure but not the furthest I could take it. Opinions please?
