I’m late to the game, having tried debian for the first time a few weeks ago.
I’m running the aarch64 version (KDE) in a virtual machine on my Mac (M2) and it’s the only distro that, out of the box, hardware acceleration is working for video decode of web videos.
All other distro I’ve tried struggle to display YouTube videos.

Big thumbs up from me.
Which VM software are you using?
VMware fusion tech preview for Apple silicon
Ooh. What’s it like, compared to Parallels?
I’ve never used parallels, sorry
Thanks, I’ve been using UTM on my M1 Pro, but UTM doesn’t have great video support unless you’re trying to run Windows 98.
