Hi, I noticed a problem after your recent changes. When you turn on the boot loader, the text appears extremely small. Adjusting the resolution in the configuration does increase the size, but it also seems to fixate the OS to that specific size. Your laptop is currently set to 3072x1920, yet changing it to 1920x1080 locks the OS to a different resolution. I’m not seeing this issue on your desktop with the same setup on a 4K display, so it might be specific to your laptop’s hardware or settings. Any suggestions?

It probably occurs on your laptop instead of desktop because smaller screens with high resolutions use higher pixel density. That means more pixels packed into a smaller space, making each pixel smaller to fit. For a possible solution: search for "grub increase text size on high dpi screens" – it might help, though I have no certainty. Also, I assumed you're running GRUB since that's the most common bootloader.
