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.

    Firefox disables some 3d acceleration stuff on Linux, where it’s enabled by default on Windows.

    So look through your about:config about:support for any acceleration stuff that’s disabled. You might be able to enable them.

      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
