Solve : Linux Videos Always Micro-Shutter?

1.	Solve : Linux Videos Always Micro-Shutter?
Answer» Hello, I would like to begin with saying that I'm still somewhat new to Linux. I've discovered this issue about a year ago since then still haven't found a solution. My Problem: Videos (be it local video, streaming on VLC or other apps or watching on any browsers) have a micro-shutter that happens randomly sometimes doesn't happen for 5 mins, sometimes happen 3 times in a minute or so. It affects both sound and video. Games also feel laggy. In windows 10 I don't have this issue even with 2015 drivers. Distros and DEs I have tried so far: Linux MINT with Cinnamon and MATE, Ubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Lubuntu, ARCH with MATE, Manjoro with KDE and MATE, Debian both Strech and Buster. Thing that I have tried so far: Forcing Chromium to use Hardware acceleration and using h264ify. Forcing Governer to use only performance mode. Creating Intel profile under x11 config.d Increasing minimum CPU frequency. Downloading all the codecs I can find. Changing VLC renderer and messing with options. Changing compositor settings. Trying to watch something while the computer under load. and some other things i don't remember. I'm using a laptop that has Intel PENTIUM 2020M with HD4000 integrated graphics. I just want to use Linux really any distro any DE I don't really mind but this issue is really problematic for me 'cause I watch a lot of things. Thanks in advance for any help.3 things come to mind that I didnt see listed in your testing for the cause. #1 - Test the laptops memory with memtest86 to make sure all is well with memory #2 - Get a thermal sensing program for Linux similar to speedfan that you can use to MONITOR the temperature of the laptops CPU/GPU and other temp monitored locations to that laptop as for it could be a thermal-throttle that you are seeing where the laptop gets really hot and then it starts to throttle until the temperature cools and then the problem goes away. #3 - Hard Drive or SSD Health. I'd check to make sure its all healthy with the S.M.A.R.T data for the drive. A delayed-write or delayed-read error can toy with the swap space ( virtual memory ) and cause the SYSTEM to have to play catch up and cause a stutter delay.
