Or is this another GPU / VPU confusion ?
I am looking to watch high quality movies using the rock64 as a media player as well as run Pi-hole and a linuxdesktop.
If the drivers are available where are they and how do i install them? My current linux desktop is choppy and movie playback is unwatchable.
Desktop choppy = gpu
movie playback = vpu
For the desktop problem whats exactly the issue since the last time i tested it it was working perfectly and responsive at least on 1080p?
For the movie playback im not sure if you can get atm on the desktop builds more than 1080p on the ayufan desktop image...
And about your needed use case, you really need the desktop? because for youtube and videos and even for pihole (and any other micro servers with docker) you can use libreelec...there is also the option of ""dual boot"" (where you need both an emmc and an sd card and you really boot from one or the other)
The desktop is very choppy also moving windows around even at 1080P. The movie playback at 1080P is so choppy. It just seems like I need to install a graphics driver to improve the performance.
I don't necessarily need a desktop for my end goal of Kodi and Pi-Hole. I just want to see this board working at its best as i experiment with different builds. Any help you can be around installing the graphics driver is much appreciated.
