Yeah, there's your problem.

>>62221987
doesnt that atom shit use a different version of windows than regular PCs?

>>62223683
No, Atom CPUs are regular x86, just slow/low power.

What graphics card do you have? Does it have hardware decode support for w/e YT is using and do you have proper W10 drivers installed for the thing? Does 1080p video in a normal player work fine on W10?

Shouldn't be a CPU issue, I have a 2.13GHz C2D laptop and it plays back 1080p fine, even 10b h264 in Kodi. Browsers are shit at video playback but it shouldn't be that bad.

>>62223683
No

Nvidia GeForce 310.

There is also onboard video with the CPU, but I figured the 310 would be a little better.

I do have the right drivers set up for everything. I didn't check to see if Edge was using hardware decoding turned on.

Correction: just onboard intel video, I don't think it is integrated with the CPU.

WOOOAAAAH, STOP THE FUCKING PRESSES, FUCK EXPLORING THE UNIVERSE, THIS IS THE MOST MINDBLOWING DISCOVERY OF THE ENTIRE HUMAN HISTORY

What exactly are these "things" you are referring to? Xubuntu minimal comes with all the core components necessary for operation.

>>62224081
Yeah, all the things necessary for the OS to work, but not for anything else to work, dum-dum
Have you even used GNU/Linux anon?

>>62224165
What's this "anything else" you are referring to? When I tell an OS to run a web browser I don't want it to do anything else at the same time I didn't tell it to do other than core processes.

>>62221954
Core2duo with 9500gt here. And It runs perfectly

>>62221954
I kinda think Windows 10 should be capable of this with proper drivers too, but eh, fuck it if it works. Linux is more comfy anyhow. Even massive updates should be over less intrusively than just the weekly Windows 10 botnet increase.

>>62221954
Windows 10

Off the of my head, periodically phoning home reporting your lewd chinese cartoon preferences.

use h264ify, youtube is trying to use a newer codec on windows that older cpu's don't support
