Don't wanna invade this thread though. Just installed intel microcode package and my microcode version changed from 0xa1 to 0xa4.
Btw, for me, playback is faster in GNU/Linux than Windows, but I don't have a integrated GPU. I don't even use proprietary drivers.
Btw found this:
Warning: With linux 3.17-2 and linux-lts 3.14.21-2 and newer versions, Intel microcode updates are not triggered automatically any more. Many AUR kernels have followed the path of the official ARCH kernels in this regard: with linux-ck 3.16.6-3, Intel microcode updates are not triggered automatically any more.
Will it concern even us later?
I'm a MICROCODE VIRGIN as well but i guess is part of turning in to Linux, LEARN LEARN LEARN.
in regards of the Video Playback, That was really upseting mecuzeverybody was telling me that LINUX its much better for graphics in general, and considering how well Android deviced handle video, It really bugs me that i strugle with this. how ever, i still feel that Linux Lite it's a keeper and will be my primary OS but with Chrome for Internet,
