Ubuntu MATE FullHD Suppport

Wed Dec 30, 2015 2:35 pm

Hi!

Anyone got Ubuntu MATE with FullHD acceleration working?
Does it work on the Pi?
Can you watch youtube videos? Maybe upload a demo?

I'm considering buying a Pi 2, but only if it can do that. Otherwise my current Pi B+ works just fine.

Cheers.

Ubuntu Mate uses the same driver as Raspbian, Ubuntu is just like Raspbian a Debian respin, the VideoCore4 GPU is the same in all RPi models..

IMO the best way to watch Youtube is either Openelec OS
...or Raspbian Jessie and kweb
