as you can see, this is per a recent overall garuda-upgrade and yay -Syu[because anxiety, don't ask lolol]
I've tried both firefox and google-chrome-stable browsers,after several reboots && shutdown now's, attempting streams on youtube, netflix, and a less-than-kosher streaming site i'll let you wonder about. video widgets/components load fine -- ads, previews, and the like, but then i go to actually throw the stream and get pretty much continuous loading icons/failure notifications. just curious if anyone's experiencing similar issues and/or if i'm just dumb and am over-looking something. any feedback appreciated!!
cheers!!
