Last time when I had EndeavourOS installed, opera and brave worked fine. But I just downloaded the latest ISO and installed it and I am having issues with these two browsers.
I have tried to do a full system update, I tried to add these chromium flags
still nothing, I tried to mess with the KDE compton settings and it didn’t make a difference.
I also tried to solve the AMDGPU issues that occurs with most Linux distros as found in this post.
I also tried to reinstall the OS.
Nothing seems to solve it. It seems to also be an issue when I tried it in live ISO and when I installed opera.
For the sake of testing out the issues. I downloaded Manjaro KDE edition and I installed opera in the live session and it worked fine without any glitches and without me having to change any settings.
The other issue I am having is that when I made my boot partition 200 MB instead of 90 MB in the last installation, for some reason when I boot into the normal mode then when it prompts me for a decryption key it does absolutely nothing, only it works in the fallback mode.
I’ve had both those browsers installed in the past and have to say neither really impresses me, I’ve been using Vivaldi and the Vivaldi-Snapshot for a few years now and just love them.
For me there is a reason why I use opera and brave, and if neither of them are working correctly, and it works fine on Manjaro but not on Endeavour, that means there is an issue with Endeavour.
My experience in the past when Vivaldi did have some issues was to install Chrome first then Vivaldi and it’s ffmpeg. That issue is a thing of the past, but who’s to say it hasn’t reared it’s head again for other chromium based browsers.
Personally I would go into .config under /hopme/(your username)/, into each browsers folder, save the default folder for each one which is your user folder, install Chrome, riun Chrome once, THEN reinstall Brave and Opera again, then replace the default folder under .config./brave and .config/opera with the ones you saved.
This is a system issue on your side. On pure Arch and EndeavourOS - I have absolutely no problems with Chromium - and I reckon the derivatives works mostly the same way.
I would go checking e.g. compositor settings and drivers. And every neck hair is raising on the mere mention of AMD - and my bias against AMD is screaming to come out - but I won’t let it.
When I type on the address bar, it would be glitchy, as in the text for the suggestions would sort of like appear and disappear on the side as well as some pixels would show up away from the search suggestions, and on EndeavourOS forum page, like sometimes when I move my mouse you can see pixels around.
Tried it and same issue.
Are you doing this after installing the latest ISO? because with my previous installation with an up to date version of Opera and brave it was working just fine for me as well.
I will give that a try
Sure man.
Hardware acceleration never works without these flags but reglardess of the use of the flags or not it would have such issues.
The only issue i have with Chromium is the necessity to turn off hardware acceleration or you do get some graphic anomalies with my AMD when cursor rests in the task bar area. Even with those anomolies it still works fine. But i use Firefox anyway and always will. Chromium is just a back up on my system.
