I’ve been trying to fix a stutter issue I’ve been experiencing on my Pixelbook Go while running any Linux distro. I’m currently running Fedora, but I’ve tried the other recommended distros, with the same result.
I think the best way to dscribe it, is if you go to UFO test and full screen the Moving photo test. On Chrome OS this is smooth as butter without any hitches. When I try the same site on Fedora (Chrome Browser or Firefox) I get stutters. It’s not very smooth at all.
I thought maybe the refresh rate was wrong in Fedora but I’ve tried the two closest options to 60hz, 59.93 and 60.03. Neither changed the stutters.
I then tried hooking up an external monitor, expecting the same stutters. To my surprise the external monitor didn’t have any stutters. It was stutter free.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
