Is it even worth the time searching on forums to fix these issues? I can't speak for OP... but if an OS I freshly installed is unable to watch youtube videos and wake up from sleep, I'm wiping it and installing something else unless I can fix it extremely easily (eg. with chatgpt).

>You also didn't specify anything like the quality you were trying to playback at.

If hardware acceleration isn't working, it doesn't matter which youtube video made you realize the issue existed. It's not as if the method you use to fix the driver would be different when the video you want to watch is 1080p30 instead of 4k60.

I think the issue is how people view their operating system then. If you think an operating system (which for the sake of this I'll allow to mean the distro for linux) should just install and "work" with no configuration needed, then linux on abnormal hardware is not for you. Whether or not a small amount of effort to search for solutions to a problem or to learn more about system configuration being "worth the time" is up to the reader to decide.
