Linux - Stadia Hardware Acceleration

**Shibblet** · May 10th, 2021

So, I asked about this two weeks ago on this forum.

I have followed up with this "walkthrough," to absolutely no avail.

I have also followed up with this link as well, as to use a "patched" Chromium Build (Beta & Dev) in order to get it to work.

I mean, I have kept trying to fix this for over two weeks now, neither one of these seem to help, and nothing seems to work.
Isn't there any way that Hardware Acceleration can be enabled, and actually work, for Linux OS's?

I started a different thread 14 days ago... and there were a lot of helpful people... And I'd like to thank the people who helped. Unfortunately though, there is still no solution.

I really want this to be able to work under Linux, but unfortunately, without Hardware Acceleration, I am limited to 1280x720p, and my processor is pushing all the work. One of the whole reasons I decided to go with Stadia, is because of the state of Linux Gaming as a whole. Steam came up with Proton, which helps a lot, but still isn't 100% for all games. And along with the cost of newer graphics cards... it seemed as if Stadia was a great choice. Hmm... $1500 for a GTX 2080 or $9.99/mo for Stadia Pro.

Stadia is 100% for all of it's games!!! It's the solution to this issue! Unfortunately, it's been bottlenecked for Linux users who have to rely on their processor to decode 60fps 1080p Video, and Stadia likes to advertise that you can game without a beefy computer.

So, the ultimate questions are: Can Google add HW Acceleration to their Chrome Browser? Can Google make a Stadia Client Program for Linux that has HW Acceleration built in? Or does Google even care that Linux Users have to take a backseat because of their choice of OS?

What can we do here?
