For example on a Microsoft Surface Laptop 4, Plymouth seems to use scale 2 for the boot screen while GNOME selects scale 1 for the login screen. This means the Ubuntu logo shrinks. I've tried a few laptops and so far it's only the Surface Laptop 4 that has the problem: 13.5" 2256x1504, 201 PPI To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/2054769/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
