i just noticed that the “make text bigger” shortcut that works for my mac terminal didn’t work with arch
That’s because in MacOS it’s a terminal emulator, a GUI application with a CLI inside.
In Arch, if you didn’t install a desktop environment, the terminal is the raw TTY, not an emulator, so it does not have reszing/zoom options.
But as @anon5621@lemmy.ml mentioned, you can set the font of the TTY to a bigger font using the setfont command.


Maybe the wiki has some useful information: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_console#Fonts
