Testing

I tested that the disable hardware acceleration is actually working using the electron.app.isHardwareAccelerationEnabled() function which I temporarily added to main/index.js, but I couldn't find a way to determine if it is working using the electron JS console.

Desktop

• OS: Arch Linux
• OS Version: Kernel 7.1.5-zen1-2-zen
• FreeTube version: 0.25.1

Additional context

I based a lot of this code on the implementation of the Replace HTTP Cache setting.

I tested in dev only

Just wondering, why did you choose to place this in the Experimental Settings?

[r3dArch]

It's mostly just because that is where the Replace HTTP Cache setting is, which I based most of my code on. Although it is something that most users probably shouldn't use since it will hurt performance. Looking through the settings headers, I think the only other spot that makes sense would be "General". Do you have somewhere else you'd prefer this setting to be?

I tested in dev too and was able to confirm that the GPU is not used with PikachuEXE code + linux processus manager showing no GPU usage for electron when hardware acceleration is disabled in FreeTube settings.
