I absolutely hate the ambient mode. I mean, I get it, it's kind of my problem if I am trying to use ancient desktop, but it's also pretty unnecessary.
Trying to view YouTube videos on many school computers became a pain in the ass. Some are so laggy that I can't even get to disable the ambient mode without which it would still be somewhat usable. (But hey, piped.video works.)
Hell, even my HP 255 G7 (a fairly average office laptop with Ryzen 3 3200U) struggles with it. It gets laggy and turns into hairdryer.
Secondly, it's distracting.
