It may be from the RAM/CPU if the video is high-resolution. Nouveau |
| 10 |
still has to do a lot of things in software that the proprietary driver |
| 11 |
does in hardware. If sys-process/htop shows 100% CPU or RAM usage, |
| 12 |
that's probably it. To rule out the network you can try net-misc/youtube-dl. |

Not necessary (there's no nouveau USE flags at the moment). |
