  "textContent": "Long time Libreelec user now running Linux Mint xfce 22.3, and old Intel NUC 5cyph (system specs at bottom of post). **Please let me know if this is the wrong place to seek support, and I will move.**\n\nKodi installs and works fine (via software manager), everything working OK except no hardware acceleration. The options do not even appear in settings (expert), and it’s not used during playback; viewing “o” playback info confirms this.\n\nInstalling the “from debian” Kodi version (again from software manager) HW accel works as normal, but as the PPA is no longer maintained, I am stuck on Nexus, where I would like to be current for various reasons, the main one being stability. HW accel also works everywhere else on the machine.\n\nI am not confident to build from source myself.\n\nI have tried various methods to make kodi see GPU- it has been hit and miss, occasionally working, but mostly not working.\n\n  * Forcing kodi start with i965 driver\n  * Using Flatseal to open GPU access (seemed to work initially but then failed)\n\n\n\n**Any ideas?** I was always happy with LibreELEC, but I need a web browser hence the move to a desktop.\n\nThankyou\n\nSystem:\nKernel: 6.17.0-20-generic arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 13.3.0 clocksource: tsc\nDesktop: Xfce v:
