They were talking about instability. I had an old Radeon workstation card in my desktop at home for at least a decade, but with the most recent AMD drivers, Firefox (with hardware acceleration turned on) would crash Gnome and the system when watching videos on YouTube. So I wasted money on one of those new Intel graphics cards to get the stability back (in addition to the time wasted diagnosing the problem).


That seems more of a gnome issue than otherwise. Right now my firefox process is clocking +8h of cpu time, I have 3 youtube videos on pause. My last crash was 2025-07-31, so yeah, I would ask you all what kind of system are you rocking instead.
