I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui's and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet...
Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu

You just need a program that actually supports the hardware video decoder. I've played 30-40mbps bluray rips on a Raspberry Pi 1B without any issues in kodi. The video played smoothly with no frame drops. The user interface was very sluggish though.
The GPU and video acceleration on the Pi is weird, so software has to be built specifically for it.
Actually, Kodi did work well, yes.
It's just that I really dislike Kodi for the purposes I wanted to use the Pi for ๐
Even the YouTube made for it worked (although the interface is... Well, it's an interface).
It's still a plan D, in case can't get anything else to work
If only it were open
I guess we can't have a non proprietary open Linux computer
