Hello guys. First of all i have to say SPARKY is very good indeed. i am super happy and grateful to the team that made it. I installed it with openbox. It is very beautiful and simple. Everything works out of the box.
I only have one problem that i don't know how to improve. The full screen videos in firefox are not smooth. Especially when the movie is panning left or right. It is ok in mpv player when watching a movie from a file, but youtube on firefox is not as good. It works, but i have compared to mx linux (latest) and it is smoother there. I have an old computer, on newer it may not be noticable.

i have checked with inxi on both and there is hardly any difference, except kernel version 5.14(sparky) vs 5.10(mx). Is there anything i can do to improve the videos a little?

I may just give an answer to myself. At the end i have installed Vivaldi browser which plays videos in full screen very well. At first i was reluctant, since i wanted to use Firefox, but it is just wasn't good. Now i am super happy with everything. The best OS for me.
