It should not be linux exclusive though. I see that there are some firefox extensions that are targeted for VLC, so you could also try them.
I'm okay with it, except for the sliders. I can't seem to differentiate 90%-100%
I use Linux and mpv to watch the videos. I use 'Open with' firefox extension and configure a shortcut to open links via mpv. That way, I can just right click in the video page >> Open with mpv. Rarely encounter problems this way.
Same for me. Zenfone 9 is almost twice the price of Pixel 6a and is promised half the years of updates... Plus I get to try Graphene OS with the Pixel. But I would have preferred Zenfone 9's more compact form for my baby sized hands.
PSA: if you're using openSUSE, don't update to Mesa 23.1
There's currently an issue with the latest Mesa update that broke all Wayland compositors. If you have updated and don't want to stick with X11, rollback (I rollback from 20230616-0 to 20230608-0).
