After upgrading my PC, I can no longer play YouTube videos in Brave under Xorg. Doing so immediately crashes the session.
This does not happen under Wayland or FireFox.
Launching using --use-gl=egl solves this issue.
System details:
- NVIDIA driver 580.142 (RPM Fusion)
- GPU: 10de:1f08 (RTX 2060 Super)
- Fedora 42, xorg-x11-server 21.1.21, kernel 6.19.12-100.fc42
