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. 🤓

@rl_dane Maybe https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.9-Larger-FBCON-Fonts has something
Linux 6.9 To Allow Larger Frame-Buffer Console Font Size For Today's 4K Displays

With the frame-buffer device 'FBDEV' subsystem changes sent out today for the Linux 6.9 kernel, there is support for larger console fonts to better handle today's ~4K displays.

@arosano

That's good news. The current maximum font sizes are ok, I just wish the default was automatically larger on larger displays. There's gotta be some way to script that. Just grab the current resolution, do some basic integer math, and then pick a font size.
