I don't use Chrome. You may need to turn on hardware acceleration.

Use Firefox and see if you have the same problem.

Hardware accelerated video decoding in Chromium for Linux

just open up a terminal

You will also need proper GPU drivers for accelerated video decoding, for Intel GPUs install VA-API driver and relate shared libraries.

Code: 
sudo apt-get install libva-glx1 libva-x11-1 i965-va-driver

It’s pretty simple to installing Chromium Beta with hardware acceleration enabled in Ubuntu,

Code: 
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:saiarcot895/chromium-beta

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
Click to expand...

confirm by typing "chrome://gpu" in the address bar

Go into the settings menu, scroll down and click on "Advanced," scroll down and you shoud see an option about Hardware Acceleration. If it's already on, try turning it off.

Dope thread. Can't believe it fell by the wayside.

Downloaded WSL 2 on my Windows 10 computer. It is scheduled to be rolled out to all Windows 10 users in the next release IIRC. Haven't personally had much use for it since my Win 10 Desktop is not my main driver.

I have been running Debian pretty regularly on my Chromebook though. Google controls the Debian version but I managed to manually update from Stretch to Buster (late AF I know). I use Debian mostly for VS Code, learning Web Development and open source stuff like calibre
