@aescling I forgot to ask: what are you installing Gentoo on? What are the specs of the computer?

@vaporeon_ thinkpad t480
iirc it’s got an i7 (8000 series i think?), integrated graphics, 16gb RAM, 1TB + 512GB SSDs, and a 1440p display
@vaporeon_ 2560×1440, quadruple the pixels of 720p
So it's one of those huge displays where you can't see anything unless you set everything to 2x scaling...
@aescling What's 1440p? 1440x1080 pixels, 4:3 aspect ratio?
