@Zerael – Yes! VLC, YouTube, etc. should all benefit from the HW acceleration.
Very impressive! Does this mean that videos (VLC, Youtube) will also benefit from HW acceleration?
Amazing OS solution with Panfrost HW acceleration that runs like a champ on C4 hardware.
Highly recommended if you have an Odroid-C4. Works much better from eMMC.
Hopefully Lubuntu 20.04 w/ Panfrost HW will be fully operational on Odroid-HC4 as well which has almost identical guts as Odroid-C4.
