Fedora: Google Chrome Oddity
-
@gjacobse I use Chrome as my main browser in Fedora, and never seen this. I am still on Fedora 28:
-
@gjacobse If you setup a VM with the same version of Fedora and Chrome does this occur?
Why not try removing chrome and reinstalling, it's only a few commands.
-
Happened here while working on Pi - full screen takes only the half screen but horizontally.
Anyway on an seperate note If you have 8 GB of RAM you cant use Chrome anymore. on Linux it is insane Chrome eats 6.9 GB out of my 8 GB and when I close chrome i see htop giving me 500 MB used ram out of 8. Switched to FF, and it is more sane RAM usage and that peaks on ~5GB

@Emad-R chrome uses that much ram on your system?

How many extensions are you running? Clean the cruft out and it'll tone itself down.

The VM would be to just have something to test with that isn't your system.
