Since Bluefin is an immutable system, you cannot edit GRUB config the traditional way. Instead, modify /etc/default/grub (which is mutable and survives updates) as follows:
-
Edit
/etc/default/gruband add or modify these lines:GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080x32 GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keepThis forces GRUB to render at 1080p instead of native 4K, making the text much more readable.
-
Regenerate the GRUB config:
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfgVerify the exact path with
ls /boot/efi/EFI/first. -
Reboot to see the change.
Important notes:
- Changes in
/etcsurvive system updates via OSTree's 3-way merge, so this is safe and persistent. - Do not edit anything under
/usr— it is read-only and will be overwritten on the next image update. - Bluefin also has
ujust configure-grubfor toggling GRUB menu visibility, though it does not directly address resolution. - If there are also HiDPI issues on the desktop itself, Bluefin's GNOME setup includes experimental scaling features like
scale-monitor-framebufferandxwayland-native-scaling.
