It’s probably both as all modern Intel gpus have video decoding and encoding hardware

Probably both, the drivers are almost the same, just need a kernel flag.

If so that’s great for everybody… well almost everybody period, most notebooks have Intel gpus even if they have Optimus too.

That will also help LibreWolf, I can’t say if the code will make it into IceCat, if t’s ever updated, or Abrowser.

As a layman, what does this mean roughly? Videos played on youtube will use more GPU than CPU?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
