[Tutorial] Full iGPU passthrough for Jellyfin hardware acceleration (Alderlake / UHD 770)
You might need to install the non-free intel media driver: https://github.com/intel/media-driver

Is Fedora (as a project) regressing?
Intel had VP9 decode since Kaby Lake (7th gen); original Skylake (6th gen) could not handle it (see here).

libva-intel-driver vs intel-media-driver for Coffee Lake and Skylake overall?
I've heard intel-media-driver was the way to go for supported hardware, but I also heard that it could decode slower than libva-intel-driver (like #925), and that Intel doesn't officially support some kind of decode feature in intel-media-driver, but it's implemented in libva-intel-driver.

Nvidia NVENC Quality better than Intel Quick Sync?
I can see 22.6.6 was released in December ( Releases · intel/media-driver (github.com) ), but I'm having troubles getting it installed.

Intel Arc GPU support for Flatpak OBS?
You should be able to choose FFmpeg VAAPI encoder, though it is suggested that kernel 6.2 is needed for this to actually work. I can confirm that it's broken with my A770, while I can choose the device, encoder is failing. No such problem with my Rapter Lake iGPU.

Improve battery life
I know that Pop os doesn't recommend installing tlp because it might interfere with system-76 power, Is it the same for something like powertop or auto-cpufreq?

NUC X15 abnormal temperature while running Linux
The device had only been purchased ~1-2 months ago so I don't think that dust in the fans would be an issue (as suggested in another post; Intel NUC's overheating - Solution!). The installation of Linux is more or less fresh, the only thing (I think) installed that would affect temperatures is auto-cpufreq (which has slightly lowered temperatures).
