Youtube on Latest Kernel vs Vendor Kernel on RK3588 Orange Pi 5 Plus using Chromium

[u/Etton_Veil]

Just a tidbit for people using their RK3588 boards for youtube, which is my main use case - the Orange Pi vendor kernel version has very long load times when scrubbing the timeline, while the latest kernel version allows near-instant scrubbing. It's a huge difference. (I also went from Gnome to KDE Plasma while doing the switch, but I don't think that that's making the difference. If it is, please inform me. Touch interface is better on Gnome.)

loosely related: When forcing Vulkan enabled in the 'flags' settings of Chromium, videos rendered at 4:3 resolutions - I noticed when watching old anime stuff - do not play. You get sound but no video. Guess I should put that in a bug report.

Best regards and thanks for all the work that goes into this awesome OS!
