That’s a pretty cool idea. It would be especially neat for headless server installation.

Firefox on Linux to date has focused on the Video Acceleration API (VA-API) that works well for some vendors but lacks official support from NVIDIA unless using the independent NVIDIA-VAAPI driver project that layers VA-API on NVDEC. There are also various embedded drivers and more not supporting VA-API
So it’s basically just because the existing video decoder API in Linux doesn’t have support for various hardware devices for various reasons. But those devices still have Vulkan support. Not sure why Vulkan support for those devices wasn’t just added to VA-API, who knows.
Linux has an API now for allowing sandboxed apps to simulate keyboard input. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any simple Flatpak apps that use it to provide a virtual keyboard.
