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. 🤓

I did configure this once.
I definitely don't remember how.
Hot take: fbdev should always default to 80x20
I think you mean 80x24
Definitely never more than maybe 132x50
I've configured it before as well, and push comes to shove, it can be done via rc.local, but it's silly that the install script doesn't auto-detect it.
Or... does fbdev need to adopt vector fonts?!? 😂
(I wouldn't mind even dinky Windows 3.0-style straight-line vector fonts)
80×24, you are correct!
I remember having some very hi-res ThinkPad where my old eyes weren't able to decipher anything in the console.
Yeah, same. I can understand someone not wanting to set a huge font by default, in case fbdev/grub/whatever has to fall back to VGA resolution or whatever, but then, shouldn't fbdev/grub/whatever just have multiple font sizes and choose one intelligently to begin with? Am I asking too much? 🥺 😄
