    of kernel found a weak spot in 's screen resolution handling. When display scaling is used, inxi fails to show both the physical and the logical pixel sizes per monitor/display, and instead shows only the logical. And no scaling. Internally there is a weak attempt to store this data as two items, but it's not used correctly. The desired output will be similar to physical and logical block sizes for drives. Physical used to equal logical so inxi reflects that history.

    @getajobmike 's solution to contributing to was becoming a / packager, which is a thankless task, which is why I try to thank him now and then.

    of / 's solution was to create that kernel project and run it for over decade.

    Others run distros like , and support them. has supported desktop users for ages.

    I use specific names because supporting free software is the work of individuals dedicated to it.

    youtube.com/watch?v=Ta0imAIz31 an excelllent Brodie interview. 2 hour long form interview with a meta kernel scheduler developer. If you havent checked out @BrodieOnLinux you might find something thaat grabs your interest.

    It's not common to hear such low level discussion and I'd been interested in schedulers because I've known of kernel project so long. And I've helped test the experimental schedulers he's used over years.
