1. Unreliable camera portal behavior, notably the portal reporting that there are no cameras present.
2. High delay with some cameras, especially external USB ones.

@rmader Is this likely to affect camera's on the PinePhone(Pro)?
Either way, thank you for taking the effort to look into this on the Easter weekend! 
@Blort Yep, 1. and 3. should make things a bit nicer, however https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/snapshot/-/merge_requests/172 is the MR where I have things cooking to improve the graphics side, which is the main issue on devices like the #PinePhonePro.
The first goal is to improve things to a point where Snapshot (and the increasing number of apps using its aperture library) run smoothly on even weaker devices like the org. #PinePhone and #Librem5, which will (hopefully) soon finally be supported by #libcamera softwareISP.
