With any chromium-based browser (and even Atom as that is based on chromium) it is quite laggy on any Linux distros. This is due to excessive CPU use (press shift+esc to view the browser's built in task manager). On Windows it is fine as it uses less processing power but any Liunx distro is quite laggy. I have an intel integrated HD graphics card.

According to another person, he claims the same thing but with this distro, he claims that Falcon works properly. Do you guys configure Falcon in a specific way or something? May I know what flags you guys are using or like how is it configured?

demm I heard that QtWebEngine is also based on chromium. So there is a huge problem with chromium itself on my hardware.

Since I am not an expert on reading code at all, how have you guys modified Falkon? Did you guys modify Falkon or did you use different configurations or something?

      demm I have Intel HD graphics card, do you know how to solve chromium issues with i915 so that chromium runs smoothly. I have used a few distros, all of them have the same issue with a chromium based browser, including Atom and Falkon as well?

        Is this an issue on KaOS? If so then please post the output of SysInfo, otherwise, makes little sense to try and debug, best use your distro for that.

          There is no hardware acceleration in chromium on Linux. That's the only explanation of excessive CPU use, compared to using on Windows.

            demm Its any Linux distro, it doesn't matter if it is Debian based or Arch based. All are the same.

                mendez Its already enabled. Its taking way too much excessive CPU.

                I have already enabled certain things which has imrpoved the performance, however it still uses the same amount of high processing power and therefore it is still laggy.

                This is what is enabled.

                  I highly doubt it. For hardware acceleration, you would need patched chromium.

                  You still haven't revealed your Intel card generation.

                  KaOS is neither Debian or Arch based, it is fully independent.

                  Chromium is not in the KaOS repositories.

                  The question this topic was about, how Falkon and QtWebEngine are configured in KaOS was answered in the second post.
                  Now this thread is regression into debugging an application not available here on some distribution other then KaOS. This forum is not the place for that.
                  Open a new topic under Technical issues, if you have questions about running Falkon under KaOS.

                  Closing.
