1. What does "not work" mean here? Does Chromium not even launch, or does it start but not hardware accelerated? If the former, does dropping the flags (--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder etc.) makes it launch?

2. So, in previous versions of the snap, Chromium would launch, but without hardware acceleration, correct me if I understand wrong.

3. You mean that snap is supposed to work under Wayland, not that Wayland itself works, right?

4. I'm also interested in your `snap run --shell chromium`, `vainfo` output under Wayland.

I, for one, could get hardware acceleration in Chromium under Wayland working with `chromium --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder --disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder --ozone-platform=wayland`.
