Do you have widevine installed?
Does this deal with performance related stuff such as web application performance, video rendering etc?
I dont have windows. My card is onboard Intel VGA
Yes I have
I have discussed this with other people and they have mentioned that there are some Intel Driver related issues which affects quite a few PCs including mine.
Do you have scroll lag as well on chromium-based? Particularly with this website: https://linuxconfig.org/benchmark-your-graphics-card-on-linux
If you are one thing that helped improve the performance is to install the linux-clear kernel. Give that a go by typing in yay -S linux-clear --sudoloop to install it. It will take some time to build though. After that add it into the grub boot menu sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
Another option is to just use Clear Linux distro and this might just fully work with your PC with no issues.
No problems with scrolling. Just with videos in netflix. What do you suggest for the right settings in KDE compositing?
Honestly just try any random compositing and see if it works as I don’t know how it works. Also with a live USB drive try something like Ubuntu and see if the same issues persist, have you tried using different DEs or WMs before while watching Netflix videos?
No just KDE. I will try and Ubuntu like you said

You could try out Xubuntu or why not just EndeavourOS in live mode cause it uses xfce? Just be sure to also enable the flags before doing your tests
What are the proper flags?
These are the flags I used. You could also try this flag as well:
But with the linux-clear kernel YouTube videos became really horrible. I am not sure if this will be the same case for you or not (especially using the normal kernel), the other dude claims it worked properly for him.
I am using LTS and i sm not going to change that. Also i dont like XFCE
Neither do I but for the purposes of testing just do a live test with xfce and see how that goes.

Can you see it if you type chrome://components/ into the address bar?
Check whether it has the correct version.
Widevine Content Decryption Module - Έκδοση: 4.10.1610.0
Seems like you’re using the latest one.

I know. Any idea what else to do?
No idea. After a quick google search I see that you’re not alone having this issue on Chrome/Chromium with Netflix, but I haven’t seen any real fix. If it works well in other (not Chrome-based) browsers I’d just use them instead. I know it’s not a solution you want, maybe someone else here could help.
Why not use Firefox then? It’s my favourite.
