This is an interesting byproduct of this feature being implemented. Don't see an easy fix on this one without altering this feature.

We would need some way of determining during shutdown, whether the user entered full screen in the player or already before that. As there are definitely valid uses cases for having the app remembering it's full screen (e.g media centre PCs, when you full screen an app on macOS it gets moved to a separate workspace, so you can still switch back to other windows), but I can completely understand you don't want FreeTube starting in full screen if you only did it to watch a video in full screen.

on steam deck with no physical keyboard/mouse the only dirty tricky to switch to other windows or even exit is clicking the links in "About" to get firefox open. Otherwise you are stuck with touchscreen, unable to minimise or close.

maybe a button for both close and minimise somewhere?

Could we just add an option to disable that entirely then? I imagine most people (me included) don't use full screen while navigating, so there would be no need to remember state since it's something for videos and not the surrounding UI. Maybe an option to default to windowed, full screen, or last used?

I actually asked for this feature specifically:D #1535
I always use the app in fullscreed and navigate between spaces with gestures. For example Apple Mail and Spotify have this feature built-in, because it is really annoying to press the fullscreen button every time when starting up the app.

valid point but you have to have an option to quit or minimise the app to regular size - with touchscreen only , there is no way to do it.
