Look... Linux... I fucking love you and I especially love elementary OS but please... Why is it so fucking difficult to be able to play a youtube video in fullscreen or have a browser go fullscreen without the window locking up -.-

(Feel free to chip any advice, it's super annoying because it works perfectly on my primary monitor but not any other)

    elementaryOS there's your problem probably - some sort of style breaking, googled if anybody else has that issue on 5.0?

    @lxmcf tried to check if the issue is still happening inside incognito? Chrome or Firefox? what do you mean by lock up, freeze?

    @JoshBent happens in all browsers and it will go full screen but the screen will update the visuals super slowly untill I close the window and reopen it.

    Think it might just be something I deal with

    It sounds like elementary, or more likely your WM/DE, is doing something wacky. Have you tried running YouTube in fullscreen in a different graphical environment?

    If you mean a hard lock, and have nvidia videocard, its probably a driver issue.

    @KiDoDa I assumed so but tried the default driver (nouveau) and proprietary but happens on both...

    Enable 3D acceleration in bios setting, and when you're using Nvidia driver, make sure you completely disable nouveau in grub

    I have no issues on MacBook/Mint with Intel graphics, no issues on Mint desktop with GTX960 + proprietary drivers either.

    @bittersweet it must be something with elementary then, because I had no issues on arch, Ubuntu and fedora so feck
