- hinkley 2y agoAs I recall it was kinda twitchy because Linux let you have multiple consoles open, and the scrollback was handled via VGA text memory, which was divided evenly between the consoles. So if you changed the max terminals in… grub? You got proportionally more or less scroll back.
- anonymousiam 2y agoYes, if you switched virtual consoles, the scrollback buffer would be cleared. Still, it was quite useful.
