Bug Description

When I try to hookup my laptop to a smart TV using an HDMI it will not boot up at all. With my laptop running after booting normally and I plugin the HDMI cable it freeze up and the only way to unfreeze it is to hold the power down until it shuts off. I've done this at least twice maybe three times. Its like there is not an HDMI driver installed. I have been a computer tech since 1984 but as you know learning a new operating system is very time consuming. I started with Dr. DOS 6.0 and it was a great OP System but than of course MicroShaft but them out of business then I finally had to go to MS DOS 4.0 and its been down hill ever since. I'm 64 and working my way into Linux. Any ideas would be great
