Change Linux TTY console resolution
February 03, 2022
This guide assumes you’re using GRUB as your bootloader
Simply edit your GRUB config file (/etc/default/grub
) and change the line
below to match your desired resolution
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1920x1080
Remember to uncomment this line if it’s commented, by removing the hash sign at the beginning of the line
After that, simply run update-grub
(requires root, use doas
or sudo
) and
reboot your system for the changes to take effect
