Dearest #Fedora and other miscellaneous #Linux #distros,
This is ridiculous. For the love of all that is good in the universe, please pick a larger default font for the fbdev console. 🤓
Pete Orrall@rl_dane Good to know. The first and last time I used Fedora was Fedora Core 3. Didn't even finish the installer. Found out it didn't support ReiserFS so I just went back to Debian! 🤣
...maybe I'll give it another shot one of these days.
It's a pretty good n00b distro, honestly.
But #Debian has the same problem, even moreso as even the grub font is tiny.
-dsr- (minifigurally literate)These things are all configurable, but they mostly default to assuming you've got a small 80x25 character display immediately because that used to be ubiquitous and acceptable on a 12-16" monitor.
Yes, it is the default and yes it can be changed but there are idiosyncrasies with it.
For example if one uses the accessibility features during the installation, it doesn't automatically update the font size.
It would be great to have an option at installation to configure console font size regardless of accessibility features used (at all).
I think it should be pretty trivial for the fbdev system to pick a font based on the screen size, and if nothing more, to have an init script that does it for you.
It's silly that it doesn't even try to pick a sane font size for the actual screen resolution being used.
