Issues with keyboard, usb c ports and other wierd stuff

[lamarios]

Using Fedora 37 (silverlbue with kernel 6.0.8-300.fc37.x86_64).

• Sometimes, the keyboard doesn't work on the LUKS password prompt unless i reboot a couple of time
• Randomly after a sleep (i think) the usb c port won't work with anything I plug into except display (even charging wasn't working once).
• I have a thunderbolt 3 dock and behavior is random at best: Display / usb / network randomly and independently will not work after a boot / wake up from sleep

Do I have a dud or anyone facing similar issues ?

Also on Firefox (flatpak with ffmpeg installed) when I watch videos on jellyfin I get strange one stutter every 4 or 5 seconds, but this suddenly happened, right after i updated to Fedora 37 it didn't happen, there might be some updates that messed up something on hardware acceleration or firefox.

I love the hardware but it's a bit too much randomness for it to be a reliable work machine. I hope the kernel 6.1 fixes most the issues I'd like to test but I don't know how to install different kernel on silverblue

Be aware of recent backoff of redhat on va-api, this might be the culprit of your stutters, you are not using HW acceleration! A fix should be on the way in rpm fusion, or it is already released, take a look at this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/ytxps7/is_it_true_that_mesafreeworld_hasnt_been/iw6tjyp/

I thought the flatpak version shouldn't be affected.

Also, I'm now trying with a standard usb-c dock instead of thunderbolt 3 and it looks like it is behaving a bit better.

I'm also trying the kernel 6.1rc to see if it works better (sleep does already)

Okk, it seems to be an issue with the flatpak version of firefox. I switched to the rpm version of it and followed the offcial documentation on how to get hardware acceleration and it works well now.

Same with the LUKS pw prompt though it works most of the time; also seems to reliably work with an USB-Keyboard idk why My USB dock works relatively reliably though it freezes the system with kernel 6.1+

I figured the LUKS password one. If I switch off the machine when the keyboard is disabled (tablet mode) then the keyboard won't work during LUKS password prompt. Just need to close the lid and reopen it then the keyboard works again, no need to reboot.
