Will a Framework laptop give me hardware decoded video in Chrome out of the box on Ubuntu Jammy?

I have an xps-15 from work and it’s basically impossible to do. I spent so many hours trying things suggested online. As a result my Ubuntu experience is: “no you can’t stream video on battery or if you want to do anything else at the same time.”

While I think I should be able to smoothly run video on any modern laptop with any modern browser, Linux is Linux and I paid nothing for it so I can’t be picky. But I’m this close to buying a Framework just so I can have this capability.
