Public bug reported:
if you have a monitor that isnt 4:3 resolution, the ubuntu logo will be
stretched out and ugly when the computer is booting up. this is, to be
frank, kinda pathetic. widescreen monitors are extremely common, and
there are even monitors that are perfectly square (1:1) but usplash only
supports one aspect ratio, 4:3. all of the monitors on the computers
that i use regularly are widescreen. other linux distros such as
opensuse come with boot loader splashes that are at the correct aspect
ratio to your screen. ubuntu does not, and i dont like the stretched-out
look at all.
also, this isnt strictly relevant, but i also like the look/design of
opensuse's loader much better too. it looks really cool. theres nothing
wrong about ubuntu's bootloader, it looks good, its just that other
distros have cooler-looking ones (and much less buggy, not to mention.)
however, ubuntu is better than other distros in most areas, and in a lot
of the most important areas, so i continue to use ubuntu rather than any
other distro. the only thing i dont like is the ABUNDANCE OF BUGS!!!!!!
