Is 1366×768 720p or 1080P?
The native resolution of a 1366×768 panel is not 720p. If anything, it is 768p, since all input is scaled to the 768 lines. But, of course, 768p is not a resolution that is used in the source material. Only 720p and 1080i/p are used.
Which is better gdm3 or lightdm?
As its name suggests LightDM is more lightweight than gdm3 and it’s also faster. LightDM will continue to be developed. Ubuntu MATE 17.10’s default Slick Greeter (slick-greeter) uses LightDM under the hood, and as its name suggests it is described as a slick-looking LightDM greeter.
Why is my login screen not the correct resolution?
