I just installed Garuda on a HP Spectre X360. The laptop has a beautiful 4K display but the problem is that the GRUB boot menu defaults to the full 4K resolution so the menu picks are extremely small. I can't find a setting to change this. Can you guys help me?
Also I want to be VERY careful about messing with GRUB since previous experience has shown me that screwing around with GRUB can leave your PC in a situation where you get the GRUB emergency menu, and not being that fluent in Linux, that usually means having to reload everything. Not that reloading Garuda is a problem but this is on a dual-boot Win11 PC that took hours to configure Win 11 from scratch (and yes I made a Win11 Rescue Disk).
Thanks!
Chris R.
